N–O Tethered Carbenoid Cyclopropanation Facilitates the Synthesis of a Functionalized Cyclopropyl-Fused Pyrrolidine
We
report a facile approach to a cyclopropyl-fused pyrrolidine,
which contains four stereogenic centers, by employing the N–O
tethered carbenoid methodology. The synthesis was facilitated by the
development of a direct Mitsunobu reaction of alcohols with <i>N</i>-alkyl-<i>N</i>-hydroxyl amides to give diazo
precursors, which upon intramolecular cyclopropanation yielded a library
of N–O containing cyclopropyl-fused bicyclic intermediates.
Elaboration of the N–O moiety of one member of this library
resulted in the formation of the desired pyrrolidine ring demonstrating
the potential of this methodology for making cyclopropyl-fused heterocycles
