20. The hydrazinolysis of 11 to 14a/14b is the most facile conversion of an ornithine derivative to the corresponding
d-valerolactam that we have observed. For example, see: Toshima, H.; Maru, K.; Saito, M.; Ichiara, A.
Tetrahedron 1999, 55, 593±5808. Alternatively, the N-phthaloyl-3-azidoalcohol 10 could be lactamized with
hydrazine to the corresponding 4-hydroxy-3-azidopiperidinone 18 (below); however, the yields of the cyclization
and subsequent silylation of the hydroxyl group to aord 14a and 14b were lower. In addition, a remarkable
tendency for the 4-hydroxy-3-azidopiperidinone to undergo elimination to the 2-azido-2,3-didehydrocyclo-
ornithine 19 (Yonezowa, Y.; Hirosaki, T.; Hayashi, T.; Shin, C. Synthesis 2000, 1, 144±148) was observed when
attempting thionoformylation (below) of the alcohol function (phenylthionochloroformate, DMAP, CH2Cl2, 0ꢀC)
en route to a N-R-(+)-MPTA-cycloornithine amide derivative 20, by a Barton deoxygenation/reduction/MTPA
amide derivatization sequence (shown retrosynthetically).
