Oxidative Friedel−Crafts Reaction and its Application to the Total Syntheses of <i>Amaryllidaceae</i> Alkaloids
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An oxidative Friedel-Crafts reaction involving different aromatic compounds mediated by a hypervalent iodine reagent has been performed, using polysubstituted phenols. The strategy fits within the concept of "aromatic ring umpolung", which opens up novel opportunities in chemical synthesis. The reaction takes place in useful yields, and allows rapid access to highly functionalized compounds containing a dienone, a quaternary carbon center, and an aromatic ring. The product's skeleton is present in numerous natural products. As an illustration of the potential of this transformation, total syntheses of compounds belonging to the Amaryllidaceae alkaloids family such as O-methyljoubertiamine, mesembrine, and its natural derivative the dihydro-O-methylsceletenone have been achieved in eight/nine steps. The synthetic route to these molecules features a novel and efficient transformation on the basis of a Fukuyama and Michael-retro-Michael tandem process to produce the required nitrogen-containing ring system.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
