✦ Synopsis


pyrroles can be prepared in stereocontrolled fashions by the reaction of 2-amino-l-(l-phenylvlnyl)cyclohexanols with formaldehyde and acid.

Recent papers from our laboratory have described the use of "Mannich-directed" cationic aza-Cope rearrangements for the preparation of octahydroindolones by an unusual ring-enlarging pyrrolrdlne annulation reaction (eq 1, n=l). lr2 In this Letter, we report that the analogous rearrangement of cyclohexanols provides a convenient entry to cyclohepta[b]pyrrolidlnes (eq 1, n=2).

This ring system, 3 although not common, is found in several natural products, for example, the antihypertensive alkaloid gelsemlne. 4

We moreover report that the ring-

Steroids, by virtue of their polycyclic structures and well defined stereochemistries, have provided a means for the development of new synthetic strategies and the study of the stereochemical course of chemical reactions. Among the steroids, estrogens have served this role most admirab1y.I We have
