Asymmetric aza-Michael addition: synthesis of (-)-allosedridine and (-)-2-epi-ethylnorlobelol
Chen, Li-Ju,Hou, Duen-Ren
, p. 715 - 720 (2008/09/19)
The combination of cross-metathesis and aza-Michael addition is an efficient method for generating piperidine alkaloids. Allosedridine and 2-epi-ethylnorlobelol were synthesized in six steps with ca. 25% overall yield. The aza-Michael addition is reversible for phenyl and alkyl ketones; however, the epimerization is not observed for the corresponding ester and amide.
Synthesis of 2-substituted nitrogen heterocycles using para-toluenesulfonyl iodide in a key step
Craig,Edwards,Muldoon
, p. 1441 - 1443 (2007/10/03)
N-Protected aminoalkenes undergo radical addition of tosyl iodide to give β-iodosulfones which can subsequently be induced to cyclise giving 2-substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines. Incorporation of an α-methylbenzyl group at nitrogen leads to a diastereoselective ring closure where the constituent diastereoisomers can be separated readily giving chiral, non-racemic heterocycles.
