The 3,5-disubstituted pyrrolizidine alkaloid (8) has been synthesised using, as a key step, the cyclisation of the allenic oxime E-(3) to generate a 5-substituted nitrone (4); under the same cyclisation conditions Z-(3) reacts via oxygen to give (9).

(Chemical Equation Presented) In this paper, an efficient way to synthesize 2-(1′(Z)-iodoalkenyl)tetrahydrofurans from 4,5-alkadienols and I 2 was developed. The reaction of the 4,5-allenols with a substituent in the 3-position afforded the trans-2,3-disubstituted tetrahydrofurans with very high diastereoselectivity. However, when the axially optically active 4,5-allenol was treated with I2 in n-hexane, the efficiency for chirality transfer was low. This problem was circumvented by conducting the reaction in CH2Cl2 at room temperature and applying N-iodosuccinimide as the electrophilic reagent; however, the Z/E ratio for the products is much lower. Highly optically active Z-products may be prepared via the kinetic resolution via a Sonogashira coupling reaction with propargyl alcohol.

In this paper, it is reported that the efficient iodolactonization of 4,5-allenoic acid with I2 in cyclohexane in the presence or absence of K2CO3 afforded 5-(1′-iodo-1′(Z)-alkenyl)-4, 5-dihydro-2(3H)-furanones highly stereo-selectively. However, the reaction of axially optically active 4,5-allenoic acids (R)-(-)-5a and (R)-(-)-5b with I2 afforded the corresponding products with a serious loss of chirality. This problem was solved by conducting the iodolactonization with N-iodosuccinimide in CH2Cl2 in the presence of Cs 2CO3; however, the Z/E selectivity is somewhat lower. The pure optically active Z products were prepared by subsequent kinetic resolution with Sonogashira coupling. The reaction of thesubstrates with a substituent at the 3-position of the starting 4,5-allenoic acids afforded the trans-4,5-disubstituted γ-butyrolactones as the only products. The reaction of the 4,5-allenoic acids (S)-(+)-11, (R)-(-)-11, and (S)-(+)-lm with a center chirality at the 3-position afforded the trans products with very high enantiopurity and up to 98:2 Z/E selectivity regardless of the axial chirality of the allene moiety.
