The allylation and propargylation of 3-bromo-4-formylpyridine under zinc-mediated Barbier conditions is described. The homoallylic alcohols produced are cyclised via the derived 3-pyridyl radical to give cyclopentannulated pyridines. One of these bicyclic compounds is converted into an advanced intermediate in a previous synthesis of the monoterpene alkaloid (±)-oxerine. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Total synthesis of (+/)-oxerine (1), a monoterpene alkaloid, starting from 3-bromopyridine (7) is described.The key reaction in this sequence is the samarium iodide (SmI2)-mediated intramolecular cyclization of γ-ethynyl bromide (4).
