Cossy, Janine,Willis, Catherine,Bellosta, Ve?ronique,Saint-Jalmes, Laurent
, p. 951 - 957 (2007/10/03)
An enantioselective synthesis of the indolizidine alkaloid (-)-slaframine from aldehyde 1 is reported. The stereogenic centers at C-1 and C-8a are introduced by an enantioselective allyltitanation and a Mitsunobu reaction. Reductive double cyclization of
Enantiospecific Synthesis of (-)-Slaframine and Related Hydroxylated Indolizidines. Utilization of a Nucleophilic Alaninol Synthon Derived from Serine 1
Sibi, Mukund P.,Christensen, James W.

A general methodology for the synthesis of indolizidine alkaloids δ-coniceine (12), 1-hydroxyindolizidine (20), desacetoxy slaframine (24), slaframine (34), and an analogue (37) has been developed. This convergent approach utilizes the available chirality in proline and serine and is conceptually different from other approaches. A highly stereoselective coupling of the prolinals with a nucleophilic alaninol synthon provides the precursors for the key cyclization. A novel thermolytic annulation of an oxazolidinone is the key step in the formation of the six-membered piperidine ring. Further elaboration provides the target natural products 24, 34, and 37 in good overall yields.
Total synthesis of (-)-slaframine from (2R,3S)-3-hydroxyproline
Knight, David W.,Sibley, A. William
, p. 2179 - 2187 (2007/10/03)
The yeast reduction products (2R,3S)-N-Boc-3-hydroxyproline esters 23 have been converted into the 3-methoxymethoxyprolinal 26 which undergoes an efficient Julia olefination with the L-serine-derived amino sulfone 29. Selective reduction of the resulting alkene 31 using diimide and cyclization leads to N-(benzyloxycarbonyl)slaframine 33c and thence to natural (-)-slaframine 5 and its more stable, crystalline N-acetyl derivative 34.
