Asymmetric synthesis of (-)-(1R,7aS)-absouline

Abstract:

The most efficient and concise asymmetric synthesis of (-)-(1R,7aS)- absouline to date, which was accomplished in eight steps and 20% overall yield from commercially available starting materials, is described. The doubly diastereoselective conjugate addition of lithium (S)-N-benzyl-N-(α- methylbenzyl)-amide to an enantiopure α,β-unsaturated ester derived from l-proline was employed as the key step. Subsequent hydrogenolytic N-debenzylation and acid-promoted cyclisation of the resultant β-amin...
