A new strategy for the synthesis of pentacyclic Strychnos alkaloids has been developed. It consists in the closure of the five-membered E ring by cyclization upon the indole 3-position from a suitably N-substituted tetracyclic system embodying rings ABCD of the alkaloids. Attempts to effect the key cyclization either by Pummerer rearrangement of sulfinylacetamides 4 and 6, from chloroacetamide 12, or from bis(methylthio)acetamide 10b (exocyclic amide carbonyl group) resulted in failure. In the first case dithioacetals 9 and 10, respectively, were formed in good yields. Cyclization from alcohol 13 or from the indole-deactivated acetal 15 and dithiocetal 18 were also unsuccessful: noncyclized products coming from the initially formed oxonium or thionium intermediates 16 were obtained. Cyclization was satisfactorily accomplished in 49% yield by treatment of the N-unsubstituted indole dithioacetal 23 with DMTSF. The resulting pentacycle 25 was converted to 20-deethyltubifolidine (27). A similar treatment from dithioacetal 41a, prepared from the secondary amine 32a, afforded pentacycle 42a, from which the alkaloids tubifoline, tubifolidine, and 19,20-dihydroakuammicine were synthesized.
