Abstract:
Base-induced coupling/cyclization stepwise [3+2] annulation of α-sulfonylacetamide with (Z)-2-bromoacrylates yielded polysubstituted pyroglutamates with three contiguous chiral centers with trans-trans orientation in a one-pot synthesis. The pyrrolizidine skeleton was obtained via the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) method. This facile strategy was used to synthesize psudoheliotridane.
