Aminomethylation of lithiated nicotinamide: access to new pyridolactams
摘要:
New 2,3-dihydropyrrolopyridinones were conveniently prepared by trapping lithiated pyridine carboxamides, with highly reactive formimines. In this Letter, we report that a wide range of N-functionalised compounds can be synthesised in one step by this process, allowing the presence of ethers, acetals or ester moieties.

Fully Substituted Carbon Centers by Diastereoselective Spirocyclization: Stereoselective Synthesis of (+)-Lepadiformine C
摘要:
Reductive lithiation of N-Boc alpha-amino nitriles generated alpha-amino alkyllithium reagents with unexpected selectivity. The intermediate radical prefers to align with the nitrogen lone pair, and this interaction leads to an A(1,3)-strain effect that biases the conformation of the radical. In cyclohexane rings with alpha-substituents the net effect is an inversion of configuration on reductive lithiation. In the presence of a tethered electrophile the alkyllithium cyclizes to produce a spiro compound, again with inversion of configuration. The overall result is retention of configuration in the cyclization reaction. The same overall selectivity is found with alpha-oxygen alkyllithium cyclizations, but in this case both steps proceed with retention. The difference can be explained by careful consideration of the intermediate geometries. The alpha-amino spirocyclization was utilized in a concise and stereoselective synthesis of lepadiformine C.
