A convenient and rapid approach for the synthesis of naturally occurring unsaturated amide alkaloids 1a-1n by the recently developed one-flask Ramberg-Baecklund reaction is described. The starting material was alcohol 3, which was transformed into thiolacetate 4 using the Mitsunobu reaction. In situ cleavage of acetyl moiety of 4, followed by alkylation of the resulting thiol with appropriate chloroacetamide 5, provided the sulfide 6. Oxidation of sulfide 6 gave the corresponding sulfone 2. Treatment of the sulfone 2 with the dibromodifluoromethane in the presence of alumina-supported potassium hydroxide in dichloromethane solution afforded unsaturated amide alkaloids 1a-1n. To the best of our knowledge, the synthesis of 1e and 1i was reported for the first time.
Stereoselective synthesis of substituted all-trans 1,3,5,7-octatetraenes by a modified Ramberg-B?cklund reaction

The reaction of allylic dienylic sulfone with dibromodifiuoromethane in the presence of alumina-supported KOH in dichloromethane solution results in facile rearrangement affording the corresponding all-trans 1,3,5,7-octatetraenes in excellent yields. This result shows that the double bonds of stereochemically defined allylic dienylic sulfone retain their stereochemistry and the newly formed double bond has an (E)-configurafion in the modified Rambeig-B?cklund procedure.
