  • the asymmetric syntheses of pyrrolizidines indolizidines and quinolizidines via two sequential tandem ring closure n Debenzylation processes
    Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Stephen G. Davies, Paul. M. Roberts, Ai M. Fletcher, Emma M. Foster, Ian T. T. Houlsby, Thomas M. Schofield, James E. Thomson
    Abstract:

    Concise asymmetric syntheses of (−)-lupinine, (+)-isoretronecanol, (+)-5-epi-tashiromine and (R,R)-1-(hydroxymethyl)octahydroindolizine (the azabicyclic core within stellettamides A–C) have been achieved in 8 steps or fewer from commercially available starting materials. The key steps in these syntheses involved the preparation of enantiopure β-amino esters, upon conjugate addition of lithium (R)-N-(p-methoxybenzyl)-N-(α-methyl-p-methoxybenzyl)amide to either ζ-chloro or ζ-hydroxy substituted tert-butyl (E)-hept-2-enoate, or e-chloro or e-hydroxy substituted tert-butyl (E)-hex-2-enoate. Activation of the ω-substituent as a leaving group led to SN2-type ring-closure, which occurred with concomitant N-Debenzylation via an E1-type deprotection step, to give the corresponding pyrrolidine or piperidine in good yield. Subsequent alkylation of these enantiopure azacycles, followed by a second ring-closure/concomitant N-Debenzylation step formed the pyrrolizidine, indolizidine or quinolizidine motif, and reduction with LiAlH4 gave the target compounds in diastereoisomerically and enantiomerically pure form.

  • Iodine-mediated Ring Closing Alkene Iodoamination with N-Debenzylation for the Asymmetric Synthesis of Polyhydroxylated Pyrrolidines
    Synlett, 2004
    Co-Authors: Stephen G. Davies, Rebecca L. Nicholson, Paul D. Price, Paul. M. Roberts, Andrew D. Smith
    Abstract:

    An iodine-mediated ring closing alkene iodoamination with N-Debenzylation protocol provides a direct route for the asymmetric synthesis of polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines from homochiral β-amino acid derivatives

  • Chemoselective Debenzylation of N-benzyl tertiary amines with ceric ammonium nitrate
    Journal of the Chemical Society Perkin Transactions 1, 2000
    Co-Authors: Steven D. Bull, Stephen G. Davies, Garry Fenton, Andrew W. Mulvaney, R. Shyam Prasad, Andrew D. Smith
    Abstract:

    Treatment of a range of N-benzyl tertiary amines with aqueous ceric ammonium nitrate results in N-Debenzylation to afford the corresponding secondary amine. Chemoselective mono-N-Debenzylation of N-benzyl tertiary amines is shown to occur in the presence of N-benzyl amides, O-benzyl ethers, O-benzyl esters, O-benzyl phenolates and S-benzyl ethers.

  • Chemoselective oxidative Debenzylation of tertiary N-benzyl amines
    Chemical Communications, 2000
    Co-Authors: Steven D. Bull, Stephen G. Davies, Garry Fenton, Andrew W. Mulvaney, R. Shyam Prasad, Andrew D. Smith
    Abstract:

    Treatment of tertiary amines containing one or more N-benzyl protecting groups with aqueous ceric ammonium nitrate results in clean N-Debenzylation to afford the corresponding secondary amine.

  • Enantiospecific total synthesis of (+)-tanikolide via a key [2,3]-Meisenheimer rearrangement with an allylic amine N-oxide-directed epoxidation and a one-pot trichloroisocyanuric acid N-Debenzylation and N-chlorination.
    The Journal of organic chemistry, 2013
    Co-Authors: Yangla Xie, Moran Sun, Hang Zhou, Qiwei Cao, Kaige Gao, Changling Niu, Hua Yang
    Abstract:

    The enantiospecific total synthesis of the δ-lactonic marine natural product (+)-tanikolide (1), isolated from Lyngbya majuscula , was achieved using a [2,3]-Meisenheimer rearrangement as the key reaction. During this rearrangement, we discovered that the allylic amine N-oxide could direct the m-CPBA double-bond epoxidation to the syn position. The resulting syn product 8 underwent epoxide ring opening under the m-CBA conditions to give the five- and six-membered cyclic ether amine N-oxides, which we further treated with Zn and conc. HCl to obtain the reduced bisbenzyl tertiary amines 23 and 22, respectively. When 23 and 22 were treated with trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) in dichloromethane, oxidation at the benzyl position occurred, forming iminium ions. These intermediates were trapped by intramolecular reaction with the hydroxyls, and the resulting intermediates were then oxidized or shifted to afford 25 and 24, respectively. The entire one-pot process involves N-Debenzylation, N-chlorination, and hemiacetal oxidation. The amine N-oxide-directed epoxidation complements Davies' ammonium-directed epoxidation. Thus, TCCA N-Debenzylation is described for the first time and might be a useful N-Debenzylation technique.
