Alpha-lithioamine synthetic equivalents from N-Boc secondary amines: Piperideine, pyrrolidine, and perhydroazepine

Abstract

dc:description

The tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) group has been shown to be an excellent lithiation directing group for the α\sp\prime-metalation of carbamates from unactivated cyclic secondary amines; piperidine, pyrrolidine, and perhydroazepine to provide α-lithioamine synthetic equivalents. The Boc group can be easily introduced on the nitrogen, stable to strong alkyllithium bases, and easily cleaved after elaborations. Determination of the stereochemistry of the lithiation-substitution sequences and the use of this approach to synthesize representative piperidine alkaloids which have cis-2,6-disubstituents (N-Boc dihydropinidine) and trans-2,6-disubstituents (solenopsin A) in high yields will be presented.
