First total synthesis of the proposed structures of β- indoloquinazoline alkaloids orisuaveolines A and B is reported. The key steps of the synthesis included a Pictet-Spengler reaction to build a six-member lactam which further transformed into target molecular by a one-pot condensation. This synthesis provided an access to the proposed structures of orisuaveolines A and B in a short and convenient manner from inexpensive, commercially available starting materials. The structures of our synthesized products were confirmed by 2D-NMR experiments. First total synthesis of the proposed structures of β-indoloquinazoline alkaloids orisuaveolines A and B is reported.

Limited synthetic approaches to obtain the biologically active alkaloid dehydroevodiamine (DHED) are known to date. Undesired demethylation in the most widely applied route was found to be a hampering side reaction for the benz-DHED derivative leading to a quinazolinone, which represents a benz-rutaecarpine derivative. For rutaecarpine, a related plant alkaloid, many different synthetic approaches have been described. Alternative reaction procedures to obtain DHED such as methylation of rutaecarpine and oxidation of evodiamine were investigated to make DHED more easily accessible and the latter method proved to be the most successful one. Furthermore, the remarkable equilibrium between the ring closed quinazolinium and the ring open form of the compounds was systematically investigated by UV-vis measurements. The ring open form and the quinazolinium salt, form the same species when incubated in buffer solution for 24 h. A better soluble form, i.e., 'hydroxyevodiamine', seems to represent the biologically active form that has not yet been described.

The reaction of 2-perfluoroalkyl-substituted cyclic imines with arylhydrazines was investigated. We found that 2-perfluoroalkylated cyclic imines are highly reactive electrophiles that form, through ring opening, the corresponding hydrazones bearing an amine group at the end of the alkyl chain. Subsequent acidic treatment resulted in a Fischer rearrangement. Thus, a new synthesis of 2-perfluoroalkylated tryptamines and their homologues through a Fischer reaction was developed. The possibility of modification of the indole core of the 2-CF3-substituted tryptamine products was demonstrated, and various 2-trifluoromethylated tryptamines substituted at the 5-position were prepared. An efficient method for the synthesis of CF3-substituted tryptamines was developed based on the Fischer reaction of perfluoroalkyl-substituted cyclic imines with arylhydrazines. A 5-bromotryptamine was also transformed into further derivatives.

Eudistomin U is a member of a subclass of naturally occurring indole alkaloids known as β-carbolines. These molecules are reported to have diverse biological activity and high binding affinity to DNA, which make them attractive targets for total synthesis
