Enantioselective synthesis of (7R,8R,8aR)- and (7S,8S,8aS)-7-hydroxy-8-indolizidinemethanol by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1-pyrroline N-oxide to chiral pentenoates
Fm. Cordero et al., Enantioselective synthesis of (7R,8R,8aR)- and (7S,8S,8aS)-7-hydroxy-8-indolizidinemethanol by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1-pyrroline N-oxide to chiral pentenoates, EUR J ORG C, (21), 2000, pp. 3595-3600
The 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of pyrroline N-oxide (1) with (1R,2S)-trans-
2-phenylcyclohexyl- and with (1R,2S,5R)-8-phenylmenthyl-pent-2-enoates (9 a
nd 10) proceed with op-posite diastereoselectivities. The two enantiomers o
f a new dihydroxyindolizidine, (+)-6 and (-)-6, were synthesized using 4 an
d 5, respectively, as the chiral auxiliary.
