Dearomatization of Heteroarenium Salts with ArBpin Reagents. Application to the Total Synthesis of a Nuphar Alkaloid

Org Lett. 2022 May 20;24(19):3445-3449. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.2c00976. Epub 2022 May 9.

Abstract

Rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective addition of aryl and heteroaryl boron pinacol esters to pyridinium and quinolinium salts is developed for the synthesis of enantioenrichred dihydroheteroarenes. The methodology has enabled the synthesis of 2-heteroaryl-substituted dihydropyridines in high yield and ee, which provided efficient synthetic access to a nuphar alkaloid.
