Stereoselective synthesis of polyhydroxylated indolizidines based on pyridinium salt photochemistry and ring rearrangement metathesis.
Ruthenium-catalyzed ring rearrangement metathesis (RRM) reactions of stereochemically diverse, differentially protected 4-N-allylacetamidocyclopenten-3,5-diols, prepared by using pyridinium salt photochemistry, have been explored as part of a program to develop novel routes for the synthesis of polyhydroxylated indolizidines. The RRM reactions, which produce selectively protected 1-acetyl-2-allyl-3-hydroxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridines, were found to take in high yields and with high levels of regioselectivity. The significance of RRM reactions of 4-N-allylacetamidocyclopenten-3,5-diols in the context of polyhydroxylated indolizidine synthesis is demonstrated by an application to the concise preparation of the potent glycosidase inhibitor, (-)-swainsonine.
