The racemic 7-substituted 3,4a-dimethyl-4a,5a,8a,8b-tetrahydro-6H-pyrrolo[3',4':4,5]furo[3,2-b]pyridine-6,8(7H)-diones represent novel tricyclic compounds with strong in vivo efficacy against the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus Rudolphi in sheep. Here we report on the synthesis of tricyclic endo-2,3-dihydro[3,2-b]pyridine-type cycloadducts and describe the separation of the racemic 3,4a-dimethyl-7-ethyl-4a,5a,8a,8b-tetrahydro-6H-pyrrolo[3,4':4,5]furo[3,2]pyridine-6,8(7H)-dione into the enantiomers by HPLC. The absolute configuration of the most anthelmintically active (4aS,5aS,8aS,8bR)-enantiomer was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis using its stable (4aS,5aS,8aS,8bR)-enantiomer-CuCl2 (2:1)-complex. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
