The synthesis and Diels–Alder cyclization of a substituted macrocyclic 13-membered triene 45 is described. Tricyclic compound A.B.C.[6.6.5] 46 having ring junctions of cis-anti-cis (CAC) stereochemistry was used to investigate the possibility of introducing a hemiketal oxygen bridge between positions 9 and 4 of the Veratrum alkaloid skeleton.

Efficient syntheses are reported of [1]benzopyrano[4,3-b]thieno[2,3-e]pyridines (20), by the application of an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction employing the intermediate appropriately designed functionalised thieno [3,2-e][1,2,4]triazines.

Approaches to the synthesis of compounds related to the 7-aryl-7-[3-(1-hydroxy-2-aminophenyl)]-9-methylamino-5,6-dioxononanoic acid moiety (3) of the alkaloid haplophytine and its dihydrobromide are described. Treatment of the dianion of phenyl (o-pivaloylamidophenyl)methane with 2-furancarboxaldehyde followed by oxidation of the resulting alcohol gives 1-(2-furanyl)-2-phenyl-2-(2-pivaloylamidophenyl)ethanone (14). This on allylation gives 1-allyloxy-1-(2-furanyl)-2-phenyl-2-(2-pivaloylamidophenyl)ethene (20), which on being heated at 80–95 °C undergoes an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction. Heating the resulting product or 20 at 165 °C converts them to the C-allylation product of 14, 1-(2-furanyl)-2-phenyl-2-(2-pivaloylamidophenyl)pent-4-en-1-one (22). Oxidation of 22 gives 4-(2-furoyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-phenyl-1-pivaloyl-2-quinolinol, which on Borch reduction gives 4-methylamino-1-(2-furanyl)-2-phenyl-2-(2-pivaloylamidophenyl)butan-1-one (24) and 2-(2-furanyl)-1-methyl-3-phenyl-3-(2-pivaloylamidophenyl)pyrrolidine. Compound 24 is a potential advanced intermediate for the synthesis of compounds related to 3. Experiments directed to the incorporation of a methoxyl or methylthio substituent at the C-5 position of the furan ring of 24 are also described.

Background: Onychine is a 4-azafluorenone alkaloid isolated from the Annonaceae family, in low concentrations. Onychine and its analogs exhibit a wide range of pharmacological activities such as antifungal, antibacterial, anticancer, and antimalarial. Because of the high bioactivity of some 4-azafluorenone derivatives, several synthetic methods have been developed for their procurement. Objective: Considering the importance of these alkaloids, we aim to present the main synthetic approaches to onychines and its derivatives and the biological activity of some 4-azafluorenones. Methods: The most prominent methodologies for the synthesis of onychines were reviewed. Results: In this work, we cover many synthetic approaches for the synthesis of onychine and 4-azafluorenone derivatives including intramolecular cyclizations, multicomponent reactions, microwave-assisted multicomponent reactions, Diels-alder reactions, among others. Moreover, we also review the biological activity of 4-azafluorenones. Conclusion: 4-azafluorenones have risen as prominent structures in medicinal chemistry; however, most of the time, access to new derivatives involves toxic catalysts, harsh reaction conditions, and long-step procedures. Therefore, the development of new synthetic routes with more operational simplicity, simple purification procedure, good yields, and low environmental impact, is desirable.
