A simple synthesis method of solanidane alkaloids from common steroidal sapogenins was developed. Previously described multi-step transformations of tigogenin to demissidine (8-12 steps) were shortened to four steps only. The key-step of the present synthesis was the epimerization at C25 of the lactam intermediate. Different approaches to this reaction, i. e., a classical one via enolate, and a chemoselective umpolung transformation, were thoroughly investigated. The epimerization step is unnecessary if the starting sapogenin has the same configuration at C25 as the target alkaloid because the configuration at C25 (either R or S) remains intact throughout the synthesis. Thus, the related solanidane alkaloids, 12β-hydroxy-25-epi-demissidine and 5-epi-demissidine, were synthesized in the three-step procedure with retention of configuration at this stereogenic center from rockogenin (25R-5α-sapogenin) or sarsasapogenin (25S-5β-sapogenin), respectively.

A five-step transformation of a spiroketal side chain of tigogenin into an indolizidine system present in solanidane alkaloids such as demissidine and solanidine was elaborated. The key intermediate in the synthesis was spiroimine readily obtained from tigogenin by its RuO oxidation to 5,6-dihydrokryptogenin followed by amination with aluminum amide generated in situ from DIBAlH and ammonium chloride. The mild reduction of spiroimine to a 26-hydroxy-dihydropyrrole derivative and subsequent mesylation resulted in the formation of 25-epidemissidinium salt or 23-sulfone depending on reaction conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Potatoes produce toxic compounds called glycoalkaloids, which are important to control in breeding for safer crops.
- A specific enzyme, DPS, has been identified as crucial for the production of these compounds in potatoes by facilitating a chemical transformation.
- The study also highlights how evolutionary changes in related enzymes have led to the differences in glycoalkaloid types between potatoes and tomatoes, contributing to their chemical diversity.

From the leaves of Solanum campaniforme (Solanaceae), eight solanidane alkaloids were isolated, four of which contain a p-hydroxyphenylethylamine unit. Their structures were established as: 22β,23β-epoxy-solanida-1,4-dien-3-one; 22α,23α-epoxy-10-epi-solanida-1,4,9-trien-3-one; 22α,23α-epoxy-solanida-4-en-3-one; 22β,23β-epoxy-solanida-4-en-3-one; (E)-N-[8'(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-22α,23α-epoxy-solanida-1,4,9-trien-3-imine; (E)-N-[8'(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-22α,23α-epoxy-solanida-1,4-dien-3-imine; (Z)-N-[8'(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-22α,23α-epoxy-solanida-1,4,9-trien-3-imine and (Z)-N-[8'(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-22α,23α-epoxy-solanida-1,4-dien-3-imine. All structures were determined using spectroscopic techniques, such as 1D and 2D NMR, and HRESIMS.
