Stereoselective Synthesis of Bromopiperidinones and their Conversion to Annulated Heterocycles

N-Galactopyranosyl- and N-glucopyranosyl imines of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes react with 1-methoxy-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene in a domino Mannich-Michael reaction cascade to give 2-substituted 5,6-dehydro-piperidin-4-ones with high diastereoselectivity. Treatment of these cyclic enaminones with N-bromo-succinimide yields the corresponding 2-substituted 5-bromo-5,6-dehydropiperidinones which react with L-SelectrideⓇ or methylcuprate to afford the saturated bromo-piperidinones with high diastereoselectivity. Condensation reactions of these products with thioamides afford thiazolopiperidines

Auxiliary-controlled stereoselective enolate protonation: Enantioselective synthesis of cis and trans annulated decahydroquinoline alkaloids

Abstract The diastereoselective synthesis of the octahydroquinoline enone precursor of pumiliotoxin C is achieved via tandem Mannich-Michael reaction on N-galactosyl imines. Conjugate cuprate addition to the bicyclic enone stereoselectively forms the trans annulated 4a- epi -pumiliotoxin C skeleton in the presence of the carbohydrate auxiliary, and the cis annulated pumiliotoxin C skeleton in its absence.

Carbohydrate Auxiliaries in Stereoselective Syntheses of Decahydroquinoline Alkaloids

Using tetra-O-pivaloyl-β-D-galactopyranosylamine as the chiral auxiliary, both trans- and cis-annelated decahydroquinoline alkaloids can be synthesized stereoselectively. This methodology of asymmetric synthesis is based on the effect that both enantiomers of 2,6-disubstituted piperidin-4-ones are selectively and alternatively accessible using the auxiliary as the identical stereodifferentiating tool. In addition, the carbohydrate auxiliary controls the stereoselective protonation of enolates formed by conjugate addition of cuprates to N-galactosyl octahydroquinolin-4-ones. The syntheses of trans-4a-epi-pumiliotoxin C and cis-4a-epi-perhydro-219A illustrate this concept of asymmetric synthe…

ChemInform Abstract: Stereoselective Synthesis of Quinolizidine Alkaloids: (-)-Lasubin II.

Initially, lasubin II was synthesized diastereoselectively in racemic form [3]. Asymmetric syntheses of lasubin II were achieved based on stereoselective transformations of enantiomerically pure substrates [4] or, for example, via a diastereoselective aza-Diels-Alder reaction using a resolved chiral arylaldehyde tricarbonylchromium complex [5]. Recently, an enantioselectively catalyzed aza-Diels-Alder reaction [6] and a [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction [7] were successfully used for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure lasubin II.

Stereoselektive Synthese enantiomerenreiner Nupharamin-Alkaloide aus dem Castoreum (Bibergeil)

Tierische Parfumalkaloide: Eine stereoselektive Mannich-Michael-Reaktion an N-Galactosylfurylaldimin zu 1 (Piv = Pivaloyl), anschliesende konjugierte Cuprataddition und stereoselektive Protonierung des gebildeten Enolats, alle kontrolliert vom Kohlenhydrat, ermoglichen erstmals die Totalsynthese des all-cis-Nupharamins 2 aus dem Castoreum. Enolatprotonierung nach Abspaltung des Kohlenhydrats fuhrt alternativ zum Epimer 3.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Nupharamine Alkaloids from Castoreum

An animalic note: The first total synthesis of the all-cis nupharamine 2, an alkaloid from beaver castoreum, is based on the stereoselective domino Mannich-Michael reaction of N-galactosylfurylaldimine to give 1 (Piv = pivaloyl), subsequent conjugate cuprate addition, and stereoselective protonation of the enolate. These reactions are all controlled by the carbohydrate. Protonation of the enolate after cleavage of the auxiliary leads to epimer 3.
