โฆ Synopsis
An efficient six-step stereospecific synthesis of trans-2,Gdiphenylquinuclidine (1) is described together with an effective resolution of 1 into pure enantiomers. A key step in the synthesis is a highly efficient, catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction.
Although the quinuclidine ring is an important structural subunit in numerous biologically active synthetic compounds and several important alkaloids (e.g. ajmaline, cinchonine, quinine, quinidine, and sarpagine), almost all known syntheses of this system follow long-known, classical r0utes.l This paper describes a short and stereospecific route to 2,6_disubstituted quinuclidines which is based on a novel Diels-Alder construction, specifically leading to rruns-2,6diphenylquinuclidine

An Enantioselective Route to trans-2,6-Disubstituted Piperidines. -It is shown that trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidines can be prepared enantioselectively via (3 + 2) nitrone cycloaddition. This method is applied to the synthesis of the fire ant venom alkaloid (+)-solenopsin-A (IX). -
6-Alkyl-and 6-(1-alkenyl)-5-iodo-2-pyrones, which are available as major products by reaction of the corresponding (Z)-2-en-4-ynoic acids with iodine and NaHCO 3 in CH 3 CN, undergo insertion of activated zinc metal into their carbon iodine bond to provide the corresponding 5-(iodozinc)-2-pyrones. H
