Application of a Stereospecific Intramolecular Allenylsilane Imino Ene Reaction to Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the 5,11-Methanomorphanthridine Class of Amaryllidaceae Alkaloids

摘要

Enantioselective total syntheses of the pentacyclic 5,11-methanomorphanthridine Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (-)- montanine (1), (-)- conccinine (2), and (-)- pancracine (3) were accomplished using an intramolecular concerted pericyclic allenylsilane imino ene cycloaddition as a key step. These complex natural products were constructed starting from readily available enantiomerically pure epoxy alcohol 15 which was converted to allenylsilane aldehyde 28 via an efficient nine-step sequence.
