The divergent synthesis of natural withasomnines and analogues was achieved from 4-hydroxypyrazoles, which was prepared via alkaline hydrolysis of the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation products from 4-formylpyrazoles. Key steps of this synthesis are regioselective Claisen rearrangement of 4-allyloxypyrazoles and the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazol-3-yl trifluoromethanesulfonate and commercially available arylboronic acids. The Suzuki-Miyaura coupling at the final step of this strategy enabled facile access to natural withasomnines and their analogues. The biological activities of the twelve synthesized compounds against cyclooxygenases-1 and -2 (COX-1 and COX-2) were evaluated.

Total synthesis of all three pyrazole-based withasomnine alkaloids and selected examples of their non-natural analogs has been achieved from readily available aldehydes and 4-nitro-1-butanol in three steps. Since 4-nitro-1-butanol in turn is prepared in two steps via Michael addition of nitromethane to acrylate followed by borane reduction of the ester group and the key 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition step is carried out with commercially available TMSCHN2, this approach is a very convenient and economical one.

A concise synthesis of three members of the withasomnine family of natural products is reported. The synthesis features a regioselective sydnone-alkynylboronate cycloaddition followed by Suzuki cross coupling and silyl group removal, and marks the first divergent approach to this family of pyrazole based natural products.
