The first total synthesis of (±)-gelsenicine is reported. The synthetic route is highly efficient (13 steps), featuring (1) a pivotal metal-catalyzed isomerization/rearrangement process that forges the central core of the molecule and (2) two facile C-N bond-forming steps that establish the flanking heterocycles.

The thermal reaction of ester-tethered 1,3,8-triynes provides novel benzannulation products with concomitant incorporation of a nucleophile. Evidence suggests that this reaction proceeds via an allene-enyne intermediate generated by an Alder-ene reaction in the first step. Depending on the substituent of the alkyne moiety on the allene-enyne intermediate, the subsequent transformation can take one of two different paths, each leading to discrete aromatization products. The benzannulation of a silane-substituted 1,3,8-triynes provides arene products with a nucleophile incorporated onto the newly formed benzene core, whereas an aryl substituent leads to nucleophile trapping at the benzylic carbon atom connected to the aryl substituent. The formation of these two different products results from the involvement of two regioisomeric allene-enyne intermediates.

This invention is a process for the preparation of an epoxide which comprises contacting a 2-haloalkyl or 2,3-dihaloalkyl carbonate, bis(2-haloalkyl- or 2,3-dihaloalkyl)carbonate, or 2-haloalkyl or 2,3-dihaloalkyl ester dissolved in a water-miscible alcohol with a sufficient amount of an aqueous solution of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide to provide at least one equivalent of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxide per equivalent of ester or carbonate, at a temperature of between about 0° C. and 70° C. under conditions such that an epoxide is prepared.
