Careful choice of the N-protecting group provides crucial conformational control, allowing ring-closure to the indole 3-position in the late stages of the synthesis of ajmaline alkaloids; the choice of protecting group and reducing agent can also provide access to either the natural or epi configuration at the indole 2-position.
N-Debenzylations using catalytic hydrogenolysis often fail to take place unless alcoholic solvents are used, but this can lead to N-alkylation as a side reaction; using trifluoroethanol as the solvent overcomes this problem, and leads to highly reliable hydrogenolyses for a wide range of substrates, including the final deprotection step in our total synthesis of (−)-raumacline.
