Aza-cope rearrangement-mannich cyclizations for the formation of complex tricyclic amines: stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+/-)-gelsemine.


ABSTRACT: A detailed examination of the use of aza-Cope rearrangement-Mannich cyclization sequences for assembling the azatricyclo[4.4.0.0(2,8)]decane core of gelsemine is described. Iminium ions and N-acyloxyiminium ions derived from endo-oriented 1-methoxy- or 1-hydroxybicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-enylamines do not undergo the first step of this sequence, cationic aza-Cope rearrangement, to form cis-hydroisoquinolinium ions. However, the analogous base-promoted oxy-aza-Cope rearrangement does take place to form cis-hydroisoquinolones containing functionality that allows iminium ions or N-acyloxyiminium ions to be generated regioselectively in a subsequent step. Mannich cyclization of cis-hydroisoquinolones prepared in this way efficiently assembles the azatricyclo[4.4.0.0(2,8)]decane unit of gelsemine. Using a sequential base-promoted oxy-aza-Cope rearrangement/Mannich cyclization sequence, gram quantities of azatricyclo[4.4.0.0(2,8)]decanone 18, a central intermediate in our total of (+/-)-gelsemine, were prepared from 3-methylanisole in 12 steps and 16% overall yield.
