Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Organic reactions in water are not easy because common organic compounds are usually insoluble in water, and sometimes the water reacts with substrates or reagents. With alkaloids that contain basic amine portions in the molecule, such situations occur under neutral or basic conditions. In contrast, in acidic conditions, basic alkaloids form water-soluble salts. we have developed direct bio-inspired dimerization reactions along with our proposed biosynthetic pathway from commercially available amine-free tryptophan derivatives in aqueous acidic media. Then, concise two-pot or three-step syntheses of naturally occurring dimeric diketopiperazine alkaloids were accomplished. Then, satisfactory total yields are obtained compared with previous reported synthesis.
