Synthesis of 5-Substituted 2-Pyrrolidinones by Coupling of Organozinc Reagents with Cyclic N-Acyliminium Ions

A coupling reaction between cyclic N-acyliminium ions with organozinc reagents is described. The cyclic N-acyliminium ions, generated in situ from N-substituted-5-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinones by treatment with boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex or titani

Carbocyclic Amino Ketones by Bredt's Rule-Arrested Kulinkovich-de Meijere Reaction

The TiII-mediated formation of cyclopropylamines from alkenes and amides, the Kulinkovich-de Meijere reaction, involves two carbon-carbon bond-forming steps. Strategic use of a tricyclic intermediate can arrest the process if the second step requires formation of a bridgehead double bond. Use of this Bredt's rule constraint results in the production of carbocyclic amino ketones, key alkaloid building blocks. Frustrated by Bredt's rule: An inability to consummate a Kulinkovich-de Meijere cyclopropanation that would involve a bridgehead double bond transforms the reaction into a transannular cyclization of an unsaturated lactam yielding an amino ketone product with potential for alkaloid synthesis.

Preparation of 1,5-disubstituted pyrrolidin-2-ones

1,5-Disubstituted pyrrolidin-2-ones 18a-g, 19a-h, and 20a-f were synthesized in good to excellent yields via the nucleophilic substitution of 5-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-1-substituted-pyrrolidin-2-ones 9 with allylsilanes, organozinc reagents, and phosphorus compounds. Compounds 9 and 5- (benzotriazol-2-yl)-1-substituted-pyrrolidin-2-one isomers 10 are readily prepared in total 70-84% yields from 2,5-dimethoxy-2,5-dihydrofuran(7), primary amines 8, and benzotriazole; 9 and 10 react identically with nucleophiles.

Addition of silylated carbon nucleophiles to iminium and cyclic N-acyliminium ions promoted by InCl3

InCl3 was used as Lewis acid in the addition of silyl enolates and allyltrimethylsilane to aromatic aldimines and cyclic N-acyliminium ions derived from 5-acetoxylactams affording β-aminocarbonyl systems and allyl adducts, respectively, in reas

Photolysis of olefinic N-chloropyrrolidinones, N-chlorosuccinimides and N-chloro-oxazolidinones: Reactivity of cyclic carboxamidyl, imidyl and carbamyl radicals in intramolecular reactions

N-Chloro-alkenylpyrrolidinones, an N-chloro-alkenylsuccinimide and N- chloro-alkenyloxazolidinones were prepared as precursors of olefinic cyclic carboxamidyl, imidyl and carbamyl radicals constrained to undergo intramolecular reactions uniquely via their planar or slightly twisted (30- 35°) Π(N) state (1,5-transfer of an allylic hydrogen, 5-exo or 6-exo cyclization to give bicyclo[2.2.1]azaheptane and bicyclo[3.2.1]azaoctane skeletons respectively), those intramolecular reactions being unaccessible to the planar ΣN state. Their photolysis gave products arising uniquely from intermolecular reactions of those nitrogen radicals (addition to an external olefin, hydrogen abstraction from the solvent, allylic hydrogen abstraction). An intramolecular reaction leading to bicyclo[3.3.0]azaoctane derivatives via 5-exo cyclization was observed with an N-chloro-alkenylpyrrolidinone and an N-chloro-alkenyloxazolidinone. In these two cases, both the Π(N) and the Σ(N) states of the cyclic amidyl radical allow orbital overlap for 5-exo cyclization.

Substitution reactions of 2-phenylsulphonyl-piperidines and -pyrrolidines with carbon nucleophiles: Synthesis of the pyrrolidine alkaloids norruspoline and ruspolinone

Several 2-phenylsulphonyl-piperidines and -pyrrolidines were prepared from the corresponding N-acyl aminals by treatment with benzenesulphinic acid. On reaction with various carbon nucleophiles these sulphones gave good yields of substitution products. Typical nucleophiles used in these studies were organometallic reagents derived from Grignard reagents and zinc halide together with silyl enol ethers, silyl ketene acetals, allylsilanes and trimethylsilyl cyanide in the presence of a Lewis acid. These methods were employed in the synthesis of two natural product alkaloids; Norruspoline (38) and Ruspolinone (40).
