Radical Carboazidation: Expedient Assembly of the Core Structure of Various Alkaloid Families
摘要:
A procedure for one-pot intermolecular radical addition of 2-iodoesters to terminal alkenes followed by azidation of the radical adduct has been developed. This sequential reaction represents an alkene carboazidation process. Its efficacy is demonstrated by the two-step preparation of various lactams such as pyrrolidinones, pyrrolizidinones, and indolizidinones. An easy access to spirolactams bearing an amino-substituted quaternary carbon center is also described. These compounds are important building blocks for the synthesis of numerous alkaloids such as, for instance, FR901483.

The radical-mediated carboazidation of terminal alkenes using electrophilic alkanesulfonyl azides is reported. A single reagent delivers the necessary electrophilic alkyl radical as well as the azido group, and good yields are obtained by using a moderate excess of the carboazidating reagent (1.5-2 equiv). Interestingly, in addition to the starting sulfonyl azide, this method requires only the use of a radical initiator, di-tert-butyldiazene. In terms of atom economy, this azide transfer reaction is close to ideal, as SO2 (1 equiv) is the only side product. The synthetic potential of this process has been demonstrated by a formal synthesis of the alkaloid lepadiformine C.
