An investigation of conversion of the secodaphnane to the daphnane skeleton has been carried out. Treatment of oxaziridine 16 with various Lewis acids resulted in rearrangements involving migration of the C15-C16 bond. However, oxazolidine 28, in which the N-O bond is constrained to be roughly antiperiplanar to the C12-C16 bond, ionizes with predominant cleavage of this C-C bond when treated with a variety of trialkylaluminum reagents. The preferred reagent for simple cleavage of the C12-C16 bond is trimethylaluminum, which converts 28 into unsaturated imines 30-32 in approximately 90% yield. The major isomer of this fragmentation process, compound 30, was converted by the process summarized in Scheme 10 into (+/-)-daphnan-23-ol (43), which has previously been converted into (+/-)-methyl homodaphniphyllate (44). Remarkably, conditions were also found that convert 28 directly into the daphnane skeleton. For example, 28 reacts with diisobutylaluminum hydride in toluene to give daphnanes 34 and 35 in approximately 80% yield.
