Abstract

An efficient asymmetric synthesis of (+)-l-733,060, (-)-(2S,3R)-1 and (+)-CP-99,994, starting from a Baylis-Hillman adduct, is described. The key steps include a novel domino reaction: stereoselective Ireland-Claisen rearrangement, asymmetric Michael addition, and piperidone ring formation through a one-pot reaction hydrogenolysis/lactamization and a stereoselective inversion of a hydroxy group.

When the reaction was run for 12 h, the ratio of 4 to 5 was 1:5.

To our knowledge, this is the first anionic allylic acetate rearrangement. Nevertheless, Prof. Matthias C. McIntosh et al. (personal communication) have observed a product that could be derived from such a rearrangement in a bis-allylic ester system.

A diastereomeric excess of 89% was measured by ¹H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the crude product and >95% after crystallization. With a t-Bu ester of 4 we achieved >95% de in the crude material (ref. 9). An ee of >95% is consistent with the high optical purity of the lithium amide used.
