One-pot synthesis of aminoenone via direct reaction of the chloroalkyl enone with NaN3: rapid access to polycyclic alkaloids

J Org Chem. 2010 Aug 6;75(15):5289-95. doi: 10.1021/jo101226r.

Abstract

A new one-pot procedure for the preparation of aminoenone from chloroalkyl enone and sodium azide was demonstrated. The structure of the presumed triazoline intermediate in this process was confirmed by X-ray analysis for the first time. As the application of this methodology, the synthesis of polycyclic alkaloid hexahydroapoerysopine (1a) was achieved through an efficient synthetic route.
