An enantioselective approach to (-)-aphanorphine featuring a stereoselective oxidative amidation

A formal enantioselective synthesis of (-)-aphanorphine (91% ee), that culminates with the preparation of (+)-O-methyl aphanorphine, was achieved. The methodology involves the diastereoselective synthesis of a key 3,5-disubstituted pyrrolidinone intermediate by the intramolecular oxidative amidation of a suitably functionalized α-hydroxy pentenoic acid derivative. A late-stage N-formyl protection, which functions as a latent N-methyl group, is utilized as a simple alternative to a protecting group switch and subsequent N-methylation strategy implemented in all other syntheses of aphanorphine related to the present approach.

Concise route to (-)- and (+)-aphanorphine

This paper presents an application of two recently developed methodologies to the synthesis of naturally occurring (-)-aphanorphine. The first method involves an indium-mediated stereoselective α-aminoallylation of aldehydes to prepare enantioenriched homoallylic amine derivatives. The second is the epoxidation and regioselective opening of the epoxide to afford 2-substituted 3-pyrrolidinols. The synthesis was completed by using a reported Friedel-Crafts alkylation and conventional functional-group manipulation. According to the same route, the O-methyl derivative of unnatural (+)-aphanorphine was prepared from (S)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide. A straightforward synthesis of the marine alkaloid (-)-aphanorphine was accomplished in 9 steps from commercially available starting materials. Indium-mediated stereoselective α-aminoallylation of an aldehyde, pyrrolidin-3-ol formation byintramolecular nucleophilic opening of an epoxide, and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts alkylation are the key steps in this synthesis. Through this methodology, natural (-)-aphanorphine and its enantiomer are affordable. Copyright

Synthesis of (-)-aphanorphine using a sulfur-directed aryl radical cyclization

Treatment of radical precursor 15a having a vinyl sulfide moiety with Bu3SnH in the presence of AIBN in boiling benzene afforded exclusively the 6-exo cyclization product 16a, whereas similar treatment of the exo-methylene compound 15b gave a mixture of the 6-exo cyclization product 16b and the endo-olefin product 17 formed by a 1,5-hydrogen shift. Based on these findings, the synthesis of (-)-aphanorphine was achieved using a sulfur-directed 6-exo-selective aryl radical cyclization of 22.
