- Synthesis of optically active pyrrolizidinediols: (+)-Heliotridine
-
A practical synthesis of the unsaturated pyrrolizidinediol (+)-heliotridine (5) is reported, starting from the readily available (S)-malic acid. The azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane ring system has been constructed via a stereoselective acyliminium ion cyclization directed by an acetoxy substituent. A ketene dithioacetal substituent in the cyclization precursor serves both as an efficient cationic cyclization terminator and later as a means of controlling double bound migration regioselectively into the correct position in the pyrrolizidine skeleton.

- Regioselective reductions of various 3-aminosuccinimides; application to the synthesis of two heterocyclic systems
-
The synthesis of novel pyrrolo[3,2-c]isoquinolines is investigated starting from 3-aminosuccinimides. Various known routes leading to 3-aminosuccinimides were tested but a new approach via nucleophilic addition of arylalkylamines on maleimide gave better results. The regioselectivity of the reduction of these compounds was shown to depend on the degree of substitution of the concerned 3-aminosuccinimide. The hydroxylactams are formed in-situ, then converted into the ethoxylactams. The latter, after generation of an iminium salt, afforded the target pyrroloisoquinolines and two further derivatives of another new heterocyclic system: the 3,6-methano-2,5-benzodiazocine.
