Total synthesis of (−)-epimyrtine by a gold-catalyzed hydroamination approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to the total synthesis of (-)-epimyrtine has been developed from D-alanine. The key step to access the enantiopure pyridone intermediate was achieved by a gold-mediated cyclization. Finally, various transformations afforded the natural product in a few steps and good overall yield.

One-Pot Asymmetric Nitro-Mannich/Hydroamination Cascades for the Synthesis of Pyrrolidine Derivatives: Combining Organocatalysis and Gold Catalysis
The highly enantioselective preparation of trisubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives employing a one-pot nitro-Mannich/hydroamination cascade is reported. This cascade approach utilizes an asymmetric bifunctional organocatalytic nitro-Mannich reaction followed by a gold-catalyzed allene hydroamination reaction. The products are afforded in good yields and excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivit...
متن کاملEfficient and practical synthesis of enantioenriched 2,3-dihydropyrroles through gold-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of chiral homopropargyl sulfonamides.
A direct gold-catalyzed 5-endo-dig cycloisomerization of chiral homopropargyl sulfonamides has been developed. A range of enantioenriched 2,3-dihydropyrroles are readily accessed by utilizing this approach. Importantly, this gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization reaction proceeds through an anti-Markovnikov addition by using a catalytic base as the additive, which completely suppresses the undesire...

The gold-catalyzed, seven-membered ring forming, intramolecular hydroamination of alkynic sulfonamides has been investigated. The protocol, with a semihollow-shaped triethynylphosphine as a ligand for gold, allowed the synthesis of a variety of azepine derivatives, which are difficult to access by other methods. Both alkynic sulfoamides with a flexible linear chain and the benzene-fused substra...

متن کاملMerging synthesis and enantioselective functionalization of indoles by a gold-catalyzed asymmetric cascade reaction.
Significance: The authors developed a gold-catalyzed hydroamination followed by an asymmetric nucleophilic allylic substitution cascade to access oxazino[4,3-a]indoles in good yields and enantioselectivities. Owing to pharmacologically active indole alkaloids, this rapid synthesis and asymmetric decoration of the polycyclic indolyl core is highly important. Comment: Amazingly, the stereodiffere...
