Abstract

The synthesis of 7-halo-1,2-dihydroxyindolizidines (7-halolentiginosines) starting from suitable protected 1,2,7-trihydroxyindolizidines (7-hydroxylentiginosines) has been studied. The results indicate a high propensity of the substrates to undergo fragmentation processes under standard halogenations conditions. The analysis of the products allowed an unprecedented full rationalization of Grob fragmentations processes in 7-substituted 1,2-alkoxyindolizidines. Under optimized Appel reaction conditions 7-chloro- and 7-iodolentiginosines could be exclusively achieved (89e100% yields), whereas fluoruration was extremely sluggish and the 7-fluoro derivative was formed in only 19% through a twostep protocol. Biological assays proved that 7-fluoro- and 7-iodolentiginosines are endowed with proapoptotic activity analogously to ()-lentiginosine and 7-hydroxylentiginosine.
