Total syntheses of (–)-7-epi-alexine and (+)-alexine were achieved by using stereoselective allylation via a functionalized pyrrolidine obtained from an extended chiral 1,3-oxazine. The synthetic strategies include pyrrolidine formation via oxazine cleavage and diastereoselective allylations of a pyrrolidine aldehyde. (–)-7-epi-Alexine and (+)-alexine were synthesized from anti,syn,anti-oxazine in 12 steps.
Concise and stereocontrolled syntheses of (+)-hyacinthacine A2 and sphingofungin B were achieved via a diastereomerically enriched oxazine intermediate. The key strategies include palladium(0)-catalyzed intramolecular oxazine formation and diastereoselective nucleophilic addition to an aldehyde. (+)-Hyacinthacine A2 was synthesized in 13 steps and 10.2% overall yield and the synthesis of sphingofungin B proceeded in a linear sequence over 15 steps and 6.9% overall yield from (R)-methyl 2-benzamido-3-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)propanoate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
