Background:

Daphnimacropodines A-C are structurally unique Daphniphyllum alkaloids.
Their complex polycyclic frameworks and quaternary stereocenters pose significant synthetic hurdles.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop stereoselective synthetic strategies for the tricyclic core of daphnimacropodines.
To explore efficient methods for constructing key structural motifs and stereocenters.

Main Methods:

Rhodium-catalyzed [4 + 3] cycloaddition for tricyclic core construction.
Intramolecular Heck reaction for cyclohexane ring formation.
Tsuji-Trost allylation for C-8 quaternary stereocenter installation.
Hetero-Diels-Alder and intramolecular nucleophilic addition for cyclopentane ring assembly.

Main Results:

Two distinct stereoselective approaches to the daphnimacropodine tricyclic core were successfully developed.
Efficient construction of vicinal quaternary stereocenters was achieved.
Key ring systems, including cyclohexane and cyclopentane, were assembled using novel methodologies.

Conclusions:

The developed synthetic strategies provide viable pathways to complex Daphniphyllum alkaloids.
This work showcases the utility of modern synthetic reactions in tackling challenging natural product structures.
Further investigation into the tetrahydropyrrole motif assembly is warranted.
