Synthesis of Tropane Alkaloids via Enantioselective Deprotonation of Tropinone
摘要:
Enantioselective deprotonation of tropinone 2 with chiral lithium amides 5a and 6a, in the presence of LiCl, gave tropinone lithium enolate in up to 95% ee. The C-2 symmetrical lithium amide 6a worked best when it was generated in situ from the hydrochloride salt of the corresponding amine 6b. The deprotonation was used as the key step in synthesis of tropane alkaloids: ent-anhydroecgonine, ent-knightinol, KD-B, chalcostrobamine, ent-isobellendine, and ent-darlingine. The absolute configuration of natural benzyltropane and pyranotropane alkaloids was established (by correlation with anhydroecgonine) to be 'cocaine-like' i.e., the side chain originates at C-2 of the tropane ring system in all cases.

diastereomers (exo,anti to endo,syn and exo,syn to endo,anti). The exo forms invert to endo isomers in the presence of silica gel. The relative configuration of a new isomer of tropinone aldol accessible synthetically through the direct solventless reaction of tropinone and benzaldehyde in the presence of water was determined as exo,syn by comparison of NMR data of the aldol isomers, in particular vicinal coupling
