Rhodium-Catalyzed Cyclohydrocarbonylation: Application to the Synthesis of (+)-Prosopinine and (−)-Deoxoprosophylline
摘要:
Efficient convergent total syntheses of (+)-prosopinine (1) and (-)-deoxoprosophylline (4) were accomplished using Rh-BIPHEPHOS complex-catalyzed cyclohydrocarbonylation as the key step. The Rh-BIPHEPHOS complex-catalyzed cyclohydrocarbonylation of I, derived from (R)-serine, at 65 degrees C and 4 atm of CO and H-2 (1:1) in ethanol afforded 6-ethoxypiperidine II, which was transformed to enantiopure (+)-prosopinine (1) in 3 steps. In a similar manner, (-)-deoxoprosophylline was synthesized through cyclohydrocarbonylation of IV derived from (S)-serine, giving 6-ethoxypiperidine V. The key intermediate V was transformed to enantiopure (-)-deoxoprosophylline (4) in 4 steps. These two short total syntheses clearly demonstrate the usefulness of the extremely regioselective cyclohydrocarbonylation process developed in these laboratories for the concise syntheses of piperidine alkaloids and related compounds.

Enantioselective iridium‐catalyzed allylic substitutions were used to prepare N‐allyl hydroxamic acid derivatives that were suitable for ring‐closing metathesis, giving N‐methoxylactams. Reactions of these derivatives with Grignard or organolithium compounds gave hemiaminals, which could be reduced diastereoselectively via acyliminium intermediates to give cis‐piperidines or cis‐pyrrolidines with substituents
