A gold-catalyzed intermolecular oxidation of chiral homopropargyl sulfonamides has been developed, which provides a reliable access to synthetically useful chiral pyrrolidin-3-ones with excellent ee, by combining the chiral tert-butylsulfinimine chemistry and gold catalysis. This methodology has also been used in the facile synthesis of natural product (-)-irniine. The use of readily available starting materials, a broad substrate scope, a simple procedure and the mild nature of this reaction render it a viable alternative for the synthesis of enantioenriched pyrrolidin-3-ones.

An asymmetric total synthesis of the 2-(R)-alkylpyrrolidines, (-)-irniine (1a) and (-)-bgugaine (1b), toxic and antibiotic components of the tubers of Arisarum vulgare, and (+)-(S)-irniine (1c), was carried out by condensation of the corresponding 4-oxoalkanoic acid (9) with chiral phenylglycinol. Acids (9) were prepared from a hetero-organocuprate (I) complex, generated by reaction of methylcopper (I) with alkylmagnesium bromides and methyl chlorocarbonylpropionate. Alkaloids (1a, 1b and 1c) displayed anti Gram(+) bacterial (MIC 12.5 - 50 μg/ml) and antifungal (MIC 6.25 - 50 μg/ml) activities.
