The synthesis of both antipodes of N-methyl-N-[(Z)-styryl]-3-phenyloxirane- 2-carboxamide (SB204900), clausenamide, neoclausenamide, homoclausenamide and ζ-clausenamide have been accomplished using (2S,3R)- and (2R,3S)-3-phenyloxirane-2-carboxamides as the starting materials, and SB204900 was found to be a common precursor to other N-heterocyclic clausena alkaloids. Mediated by Bronsted acids under different conditions, for example, SB204900 underwent efficient and diverse alkene-epoxide cyclization, enamide-epoxide cyclization and arene-epoxide cyclization reactions to produce the five-membered N-heterocyclic neoclausenamide, its 6-epimer, the six-membered N-heterocyclic homoclausenamide and the eight-membered N-heterocyclic ζ-clausenamide, respectively, in good to excellent yields. Regiospecific oxidation of neoclausenamide and its 6-epimer afforded neoclausenamidone. Enolization of neoclausenamidone in the presence of LiOH and the subsequent protonation under kinetic conditions at -78 °C led to the epimerization of neoclausenamidone into clausenamidone. Reduction of clausenamidone using NaBH4 furnished clausenamide in high yield. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2009.

The diastereoselective total synthesis of the naturally ocurring hepatoprotective agent clausenamide (3-hydroxy-5-(α-hydroxybenzyl)-1-methyl-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one) is described, starting from ethyl cinnamate and diethyl acetamidomalonate.The enantioselective total synthesis of optically pure (+)-clausenamide is presented.The synthesis is based on a novel method for the preparation of optically pure (2S,3S)-3-phenylglutamic acid.
