Abstract

The title alkaloid was synthesized in racemic form from 3,7-diallyl-2,4,6,8-tetraoxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (7) by a regioselective diallylation reaction followed by double ring-closing olefin metathesis and exhaustive reduction. Tetraoxobispidine 7 was itself prepared in three simple operations from dimethyl malonate. The entire sequence to α-isosparteine was conducted on a multigram scale and proceeded without recourse to chromatography.

Matthias Breuning, Melanie Steiner, Christian Mehler, Alexander Paasche and David HeinThe Journal of Organic Chemistry2009 74 (3), 1407-1410A new and flexible route to enantiomerically pure bi- and tricyclic 9-oxabispidines has been developed with use of (1R,5S)-7-methyl-2-oxo-9-oxa-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as the common late-stage intermediate. The 9-...

Raissa M. Trend and Brian M. StoltzJournal of the American Chemical Society2008 130 (47), 15957-15966The chiral ligand (−)-sparteine and PdCl2 catalyze the enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones and thus effect a kinetic resolution. The structural features of sparteine that led to the selectivity observed in the reaction were not ...

BlakemoreThe Journal of Organic Chemistry2008 73 (20), 7939-7951The three title alkaloids were separately prepared in stereocontrolled fashion from a common tetraoxobispidine precursor, 3,7-diallyl-2,4,6,8-tetraoxo-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (16). Bisimide 16 was generated from malonate via acid promoted ...
