Here, we describe
the recent progress toward construction of 1-azabicyclic
structures using a domino hydroformylation double cyclization strategy
of an amide bearing the trisubstituted alkene functionality. The method
provides a rapid and atom-economic access to alkaloid structures under
mild conditions, especially for quinolizidine and pyrrolidine-fused
azepane skeletons with yields up to 82% and good diastereoselectivity.
Subsequent oxidative cleavage conditions are developed for the synthesis
of Dendrobatid alkaloid epi-epiquinamide.
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.
