Abstract: | O-Benzyl-N-benzyloxymalimide 12 has been synthesized as a useful variant of the chiral building blocks 9. The advantage of the malimide 12 over 9 was demonstrated by mild and high-yielding reductive N-deprotection of N-benzyloxylactams 18a–i to give a series of (4R,5S)-5-alkyl-4-hydroxy-pyrrolidin-2-ones, which are key intermediates for the asymmetric synthesis of pyrrolidines, pyrrolizidines, and indolizidines, as well as β-hydroxy γ-amino acids. Lactam ent-11a has been applied to the synthesis of the mixed imide 25, a key intermediate for the total synthesis of microcolin B, which also demonstrated that lactam ent-11a or 11a can serve as a latent form of the 5-methyl-3-pyrrolin-2-one substructure of majusculamide D 4, deoxymajusculamide D, and the jamaicamides A–C. |
