Abstract
An efficient approach to hydroxylated pyrrolidine and piperidine derivatives through the intramolecular hydroamination catalyzed by a Cu(I)-Xantphos system is described. The transformation allows for the short synthesis of N-alkylated aza-sugars without a protection-deprotection event of the hydroxy groups.

for the Cu(I)-Catalyzed Hydroamination of Amino Alkene [Procedure
A with CuO
t
-Bu-Xantphos
(Scheme 1, Tables 1 and 2)]
In a glove box,
CuOt-Bu (0.06 mmol, 8.2 mg or 0.08 mmol, 10.9
mg) and Xantphos (0.06 mmol, 34.7 mg or 0.08 mmol, 46.3 mg) were
placed in a screw vial. Anhydrous, degassed mixed solvent, MeOH-p-xylene (1:1, 0.4 mL) was added and
stirred at r.t. for 10 min to give a pale yellow solution.
A
solution of a hydroxylated amino alkene (0.4 mmol) in MeOH-p-xylene (1:1, 0.4 mL) was added. The
vial was sealed with a screw cap and was removed from the glove box.
The mixture was stirred and heated at 140 ˚C for
72 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and concentrated.
An internal standard (1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane) was added to the
residue. The yield of the product was determined by ¹H NMR.
Purification by Kugelrohr distillation or preparative TLC (silica
gel, MeOH) gave the desired product in a practically pure form.

Procedure for
the Synthesis of Trihydroxylated Piperidine 2e (Procedure C, Scheme
5)
In a glove box, CuOAc (0.04 mmol, 4.9 mg), Xantphos
(0.04 mmol, 23.1 mg), and KOt-Bu (0.06
mmol, 8.2 mg) were placed in a screw vial. Anhydrous, degassed mixed
solvent, MeOH-p-xylene (1:1,
0.2 mL) was added and stirred at r.t. for 10 min to give a pale
yellow solution. A solution of 1e (0.2
mmol) in MeOH-p-xylene (1:1,
0.2 mL) was added. The vial was sealed with a screw cap, and was
removed from the glove box. The mixture was stirred and heated at
140 ˚C for 72 h. The reaction mixture was cooled
to r.t. and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc (5
mL) and H2O (5 mL). The mixture was extracted with H2O
(3 × 5 mL). The combined aqueous layers were evaporated
under reduced pressure to give a pale yellow oil (25.5 mg). ¹H NMR
analysis of the material using t-BuOH
as an internal standard indicated that the yield and purity of 2e were 53% (17.7 mg) and 67%,
respectively.
