A new strategy for constructing indolizino[1,2-b]quinolin-9(11H)-ones (ring cores of camptothecins) from readily available isocyanoarenes and N-(alkyl-2-yn-1-yl)pyridin-2(1H)-ones has been developed through a visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization process. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with fair to excellent yields. The easy introduction of substituents for both reactants and the broad functional group tolerance of the reaction make it a straightforward route to the cores of the marketed camptothecins and their derivatives.

Homoleptic lithium tri- and tetraalkyl zincates were reacted with a set of bromopyridines. Efficient and chemoselective bromine-metal exchanges were realized at room temperature with a substoichiometric amount of nBu 4ZnLi2·TMEDA reagent (1/3 equiv; TMEDA=N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine). This reactivity contrasted with that of tBu4ZnLi2·TMEDA, which was inefficient below one equivalent. DFT calculations allowed us to rationalize the formation of N...Li stabilized polypyridyl zincates in the reaction. The one-pot difunctionalization of dibromopyridines was also realized using the reagent stoichiometrically. The direct creation of C-Zn bonds in bromopyridines enabled us to perform efficient Negishi-type cross-couplings. Mild zincation! nBu4ZnLi2·TMEDA (in substoichiometric amounts) promoted efficient and chemoselective room-temperature bromine-metal exchange of a range of bromopyridines (see scheme). DFT calculations strongly supported the formation of a stabilized tripyridylzincate, which could be reacted with electrophiles or be directly involved in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.

A general and efficient synthesis of (20S)-camptothecin (1a) is reported. A key common intermediate containing the pyridone and lactone (DE) rings of camptothecin and most derivatives was constructed from 2-trimethylsilyl-6-methoxypyridine by a series of metalation reactions and a Heck cyclization to provide an achiral bicyclic enol ether. Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation followed by lactol oxidation and iododesilylation produced the key intermediate in 94% enantiomeric excess. Alkylation with prop-argyl bromide and a cascade radical reaction with phenyl isonitrile then produced 1a. About 20 other penta-and hexacyclic analogues of camptothecin with differing single or multiple substituents at C7, C9, C10, C11, and/or C12 were made by changing the propargylating agent and the isonitrile. Included among these are several drug candidates and the approved drugs topotecan and irinotecan. The synthesis of the prodrug irinotecan is a direct one that does not pass through the active metabolite. The use of ortho-trimethylsilyl-substituted isonitriles allows the regioselective synthesis of camptothecin analogues in cases where isomeric mixtures are formed from the parent isonitriles. The synthesis of the derivatives relies on the broad scope and functional group tolerance of the key cascade radical reaction.
