Diastereoselective Corey-Chaykovsky 9-epoxymethylation of cinchona alkaloids: Access to chiral scaffolds with diverse functionalities

Reaction of dimethylsulfonium methylide with Cinchona alkaloid ketones proceeds with complete diastereoselectivity to give epoxides of 8,9-like configuration. The reaction of dimethylsulfoxonium methylide gives different isomers, albeit with lower (4:1) selectivity. α-Epimerization of the alkaloid ketones resulted in formation of two separable diasteromeric products. The configurations of the epoxides were elucidated on the basis of NMR data combined with DFT calculations. Models explaining observed selectivity are discussed. The epoxides were efficiently transformed to a number of derivatives through selective SN2-type ring-opening reactions with various nucleophiles, often without the need of additional purification steps.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Put to rest: The three-step conversion of d-quinotoxine into quinine, as originally reported by Rabe and Kindler in 1918, has been experimentally verified. This conversion serves to reaffirm the formal total synthesis of quin
