Abstract: | Treatment of N-(2-arylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)-α-(methylthio)acetamides with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) gave 3a-aryl-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydro-3-(methylthio)indol-2-ones. Desulfurization of the cyclization products followed by a catalytic hydrogenation of the resulting hexahydroindol-2-ones gave predominantly or exclusively trans-fused octahydroindol-2-ones. On the other hand, reduction of the desulfurization products with Et3SiH in CF3CO2H exclusively provided cis-fused octahydroindol-2-ones. A chiral induction of N-[2-(3,4-dimethoxy)phenylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl]-α-(methylthio)acetamide having an (R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl group on the nitrogen atom led to the synthesis of (−)-mesembrane and (−)-trans-mesembrane. |
