Abstract
A metal-free diastereo-/regioselective modular synthetic approach for the synthesis of highly constrained tetrahydroquinoline-fused tetracyclic heterocycles from easily available substrates has been developed. This two-step strategy utilizes an Ugi four-component reaction, followed by the intramolecular spirocarbocyclization and iodination reactions in a single operation. The transformation is mild and operationally simple, which provides architecturally complex polycyclic heterocycles with high diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, the preliminary cytotoxicity screening of selected compounds displayed promising anticancer activity against human cancer cell lines.
