Regio- and stereoselectivity in the coupling reaction of secologanin with dopamine derivatives.
The coupling reaction of tetraacetylsecologanin with dopamine and its N-benzyl derivative was investigated. In both series, stereoisomers at C-1, as well as regioisomer normal and neo compounds, were formed. Moreover, the N-unsubstituted products were partially lactamized, and the N-benzyl derivatives epimerized at C-1. In the products, the R configuration of C-1 over the S and the formation of the normal structure over the neo one predominated. The epimerization of both epimers gave an equilibrium of R and S in a ratio of 7:3 and was interpreted by cleavage of the C-1-N-2 bond. The fact that lactamization was much faster in the R than in the S series was explained on the basis of the supposed transition states. The structure, the configuration of C-1, and in several cases the conformations were established by detailed NMR studies and supported by chemical correlations.
