Short syntheses of oxa-preussin, racemic preussin and (-)-preussin are reported. Starting from a racemic 3-nonyl-substituted methoxyallene derivative, its lithiation and addition to phenylethanal provided the corresponding allenyl alcohol that was converted into two diastereomeric dihydrofuran derivatives by silver nitrate-catalyzed 5-endo-trig cyclization. The acid hydrolysis of the enol ether moiety gave heterocyclic ketones and subsequent highly stereoselective reductions with l-selectride furnished 2-benzyl-5-nonylfuran-3-ol derivatives in good overall yield. The major all-cis-diastereomer has the skeleton and relative configuration of preussin and is hence called oxa-preussin. An analogous sequence with the same allene, but an N-sulfonyl imine as the electrophile, finally led to racemic preussin. The stereoselectivities of the individual steps are discussed in detail. With an enantiopure 2-benzyl-5-nonylpyrrolidin-3-one intermediate the preparation of (-)-preussin with an enantiomeric ratio of >95:5 could be accomplished in a few steps. The sign of the optical rotation of this product finally proved the absolute configurations of its precursors and demonstrated that our chiral auxiliary-based route led to the antipode of the natural product. The cytotoxicity of several of the prepared heterocycles against MCF-7 tumor cells was investigated and five compounds, including racemic and enantiopure (-)-preussin, were identified as highly cytotoxic with IC50 values in the range of 3-6 μM.

Intramolecular iridium-catalyzed allylic aminations of homochiral (E)-6-N-nosylaminohept-2-en-1-yl methyl carbonates were investigated. The relative position of the 2,5-substituents of the resulting pyrrolidines was found to be controlled by using both enantiomers (4 and 5) of the appropriate chiral ligand, demonstrating a simple and highly stereodivergent synthetic protocol. Selected trans- and cis-2,5-disubstituted 3-hydroxypyrrolidines (2a and 18a) were converted to (+)-bulgecinine (6) and (+)-preussin (7), respectively.

A convergent and stereoselective synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted 3-hydroxypyrrolidines has been developed that involves reductive annulation of β-iminochlorohydrins, which are readily available from β- ketochlorohydrins, and provides rapid access to a variety of 2,5-syn-pyrrolidines. Application of this process to the concise (three-step) synthesis of the fungal metabolite (+)-preussin and analogues of this substance is reported.
