Synthesis of Functionalized Tropanes by Rhodium(II) Carboxylate-Catalyzed Decomposition of Vinyldiazomethanes in the Presence of Pyrroles. -A number of enantiomerically enriched tropones can be prepared efficiently using the title method. The reaction proceeds via a tandem cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement. Best results are obtained using either (S)-lactate or (R)-pantolactone as chiral auxiliary on the vinyldiazomethanes. In the presence of a chiral catalyst moderate asymmetric induction as well as formation of side products are observed. This process is applied to the synthesis of (-)-anhydroecgonine methyl ester (VI) and (-)-ferruginine (VII). -(DAVIES, H.
