Abstract

The first synthesis of cyclic benzopyridoiodolium salts is described. These hypervalent iodine intermediates are used in an efficient strategy for the construction of the δ-carboline core. This novel approach involves a twofold palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig reaction between these unprecedented reagents and a primary amine. Our methodology successfully provides the expected N-substituted δ-carboline core and is efficiently applied in the total synthesis of quindoline.

Key words

alkaloids - amination - heterocycles - iodine - total synthesis
