Synthesis of inverto-yuehchukene and its 10-(indol-3′-yl) isomer. X-Ray structure of (4aRS,10aRS)-1,1,3-trimethyl-1,2,4a,5,10,10a-hexahydroindene[1,2-b]indol-10-one

A total synthesis of inverto-yuehchukene 4 and its 10-(indo-3′-yl) isomer 7 is described. The key tetracyclic ketone intermediate 13 was synthesized by a coupling reaction between 3-indolylzinc reagent and acid chloride 11, followed by Nazarov cyclization

A versatile synthetic strategy has been developed for the synthesis of the interesting dimeric indole natural product yuehchukene (17) and its epimer, 6a-epi-yuehchukene (22). Due to the anti-implantation activity associated with 17, it is important to develop a synthetic route not only to 17, but to a family of yuehchukene analogues with better chemical stability and/or elevated biological activity. The strategy described here and which utilizes the readily available and inexpensive isophorone (1) satisfies these requirements.
