, p. 1119 - 1121 (2012/03/26)
The asymmetric synthesis of (-)-(S,S)-homaline was achieved in 8 steps from commercially available starting materials using the diastereoselective conjugate addition of the novel lithium amide reagent lithium (R)-N-(3-chloropropyl)-N-(α-methyl-p-methoxybe
Asymmetric syntheses of the homalium alkaloids (-)-(S, S)-homaline and (-)-(R, R)-hopromine

The highly diastereoselective conjugate additions of the novel lithium amide reagents lithium (R)-N-(3-chloropropyl)-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide and lithium (R)-N-(3-chloropropyl)-N-(α-methyl-p-methoxybenzyl)amide to α,β-unsaturated esters were used as the key steps in syntheses of the homalium alkaloids (-)-(S,S)-homaline and (-)-(R,R)-hopromine. The asymmetric synthesis of (-)-(S,S)-homaline was achieved in 8 steps and 18% overall yield, and the asymmetric synthesis of (-)-(R,R)-hopromine was achieved in 9 steps and 23% overall yield, from commercially available starting materials in each case. These syntheses therefore represent by far the most efficient total asymmetric syntheses of these alkaloids reported to date. A sample of the (4′R,4′′S)-epimer of hopromine was also produced using this approach, which provided the first unambiguous confirmation of its absolute configuration and therefore that of natural (-)-(R,R)-hopromine.

Both enantiomers of (S)- and (R)-4-phenyl-1,5-diazacyclooctan-2-ones (7) were synthesized stereoselectively with good optical purity by the asymmetric conjugate addition of pyrazolidine to optically active vinyl sulfoxides, t-butyl (E)-2-[(R)- and (S)-p-tolylsulfinyl]cinnamates, respectively. Starting from 7, a synthesis of optically active homaline was achieved.
