(±)-daphenylline - Daphniphyllum alkaloid - Buchner ring expansion - thia-Paternò–Büchi cycloaddition - Barton–McCombie deoxygenation
Significance
Sarpong and co-workers report the total synthesis of (±)-daphenylline. The alkaloid features a 2-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core attached to a 5-7-5 ring system. Their key synthetic strategy is the formation of the seven-membered ring by a Buchner ring expansion.

Comment
Diazoacetamide F was accessed from pyridine A in three steps. After cyclopropanation, lactam I was furnished through a 6π-electrocyclic ring opening and reduction. The benzylic methyl group in amine M was installed through a thia-Paternò–Büchi cycloaddition and subsequent reduction of the thietane using LAH and Raney-Ni.
