Diastereoselective Construction of Fused Carbocyclic Pyrrolidines via a Copper-Catalyzed [3 + 2] Cycloaddition: Total Syntheses of Pancratinines B–C

Fang Wang,
Xiaohan Xu,
Yangtian Yan
et al.

Abstract: A Cu-catalyzed diastereoselective [3 + 2] cycloaddition of 2-arylaziridines and cyclic silyl dienol ethers was developed to efficiently construct fused-[5,n] carbocyclic pyrrolidines, which are widespread in bioactive natural products. Mechanistic studies revealed that the high diastereoselectivity of this transformation arose from a sequential retro aza-Michael/epimerization/aza-Michael process. Taking advantage of this newly developed method, the first total syntheses of pancratinines B and C were concisely … Show more

“…Recently, our group reported a copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation reaction to synthesize fused-[5, n ] carbocyclic pyrrolidine from readily accessible cyclic silyl dienol ether and aziridine, and using this method, we achieved the first racemic total synthesis of pancratinines B and C (Scheme 1A). 30 This inspired us to explore the application of the copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation reaction to construct chiral 5,6 carbocyclic pyrrolidines using chiral diene as a starting material and then to accomplish the asymmetric total syntheses of five montanine-type alkaloids ( 1–5 ) in a divergent manner.…”

“…Starting from the piperonyl-substituted [5,6]-carbocyclic pyrrolidine 10 , oxidizing the ketone to the alkene 9 followed by a Pictet–Spengler cyclization would give rise to intermediate 6 . As to the key compound 10 , we expected to construct it from the known 2-arylaziridine 11 and enantiomerically pure carbocyclic alkene ( S )- 12 30,32 via a copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation reaction.…”
