Synthesis of casuarines [pentahydroxylated pyrrolizidines] by sodium hydrogen telluride-induced cyclisations of azidodimesylates
摘要:
The key step in the synthesis of four diastereomers of casuarine from eight carbon sugar lactones is the efficient reduction of open chain azidodimesylates by sodium hydrogen telluride [Suzuki-Takaoka reduction] to allow the formation of the pyrrolizidine nucleus by bicyclisation. This is the first report of the synthesis of such highly oxygenated pyrrolizidines. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Acetonides of the eight carbon sugar lactones, D-erythro-L-talooctono-1, 4-lactone and D-erythro-L-galactooctono-1 4-lactone, readily derived from glucoheptonolactone, are easily accessible intermediates for the synthesis of sugar mimics with six adjacent stereogenic centres and eight contiguous carbon atoms bearing functional groups.

Caesium trifluoroacetate has advantages over both sodium trifluoroacetate and caesium acetate for the efficient inversion of configuration of alcohols by displacement of triflates.
