An asymmetric synthesis of (+)-stephadiamine has been accomplished featuring (a) an enantioselective dearomatizative Michael addition to generate a quaternary stereocenter; (b) a domino sequence involving reductive generation of nitrone from γ-nitro ketone followed by a highly regio- and diastereo-selective intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition to construct the aza[4,3,3]propellane core with concurrent generation of two quaternary stereocenters and two functional groups ready for subsequent transformations; (c) the Curtius rearrangement of the sensitive α,α-disubstituted malonic acid mono ester for the installation of α,α-disubstituted amino ester moiety; (d) a benzylic C-H oxidation under photoredox catalytic conditions; and (e) a highly diastereoselective ketone reduction affording δ-hydroxyester preorganized for lactonization.
(+)-Stephadiamine 的不对称合成已经完成,其特征在于:(a) 通过对映选择性非芳香族 Michael 加成生成季立体中心;(b) 涉及γ-硝基酮还原生成硝酮,然后高度区域和立体选择性的分子内[3 + 2]环加成,构建具有两个季立体中心和两个功能基团的氮杂[4,3,3]螺桨核心,同时生成两个季立体中心和两个功能基团,为后续转化做好准备;(c) 敏感的α,α-二取代丙二酸单酯的Curtius 重排,用于安装α,α-二取代氨基酯部分;(d) 在光氧化还原催化条件下进行苄位 C-H 氧化;(e) 高度非对映选择性酮还原,得到δ-羟基酯,为内酯化做好预组织。
