Abstract

A total synthesis of lycoposerramine-R was accomplished. The synthesis featured a Claisen–Ireland rearrangement to install a two-carbon unit, and a hetero-Diels–Alder reaction to form a cyclic enol ether that reacted with an ethynyl group to construct a cis-hydrindane core containing a quaternary carbon. A 2-pyridone synthesis using 2-(phenylsulfinyl)acetamide was used to complete the synthesis.

Key words

alkaloids - Diels–Alder reaction - total synthesis - gold catalysis - alkaloids - rearrangement

The reaction was then quenched with sat. aq NaHCO₃, and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 9 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na₂SO₄) and concentrated under reduced pressure.
