Modular Enantioselective Synthesis of 8‑Aza-prostaglandin E<sub>1</sub>
We
report herein for the first time the enantioselective synthesis
of 8-aza-PGE<sub>1</sub>. The synthesis used the cross olefin metathesis
reaction to connect the 5-vinyl-γ-lactam subunit, prepared from
(<i>R</i>)-malic acid via the Ley’s sulfone-based
α-amidalkylation protocol (dr = 6.8:1), with the chiral pre-ω-chain.
The latter was synthesized in high enantioselectivity from (<i>E</i>)-2-octenol by the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and
the titanocene-mediated epoxide opening. This modular approach is
quite concise and flexible, and requires only eight steps from commercially
available reagents
Total Synthesis of (−)-Sessilifoliamide J
An efficient synthesis of the <i>Stemona</i> alkaloid
(−)-sessilifoliamide J (<b>1</b>) in 12 steps and 7.7%
overall yield from the known building block <b>8</b> is presented.
The synthesis features the Corey lactonization reaction and a highly
diastereoselective α-methylation reaction to build the spiro-lactone
moiety
