Asymmetric Synthesis of N,O-Heterobicyclic Octanes and (−)-Geissman-Waiss Lactone

A short, asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydro-2H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole derivatives and (−)-Geissman-Waiss lactone starting frommeso-cyclohexadiene epoxide is described. Pivotal transformations in the developed synthetic procedure include asymmetric epoxide ring opening to install the requisite 1S,5Sstere...

Description
Summary:A short, asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydro-2H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole derivatives and (−)-Geissman-Waiss lactone starting frommeso-cyclohexadiene epoxide is described. Pivotal transformations in the developed synthetic procedure include asymmetric epoxide ring opening to install the requisite 1S,5Sstereocenters and oxidative lactonization/lactamization sequences. This route provides a streamlined synthetic pathway toward necine alkaloids. © 2021 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society
