Abstract
Synthesis of five novel piperidine monoterpene alkaloids (17−21) using the iridoid glucoside antirrhinoside (4) as a synthon is described. Two strategies for their preparation were investigated: the first possible pathway involved an intermediate diol, 13, from which the piperidine ring was expected to be constructed via reaction of its ditosylate with an amine; the second strategy involved a double reductive amination as the key step to the piperidine ring, which proved successful. The stereochemistry of C-5 and C-9 in the obtained piperidine monoterpenes was the same as that reported for α-skytanthine (3), a known isolate from Skytanthus acutus (Apocynaceae).
