Abstract

Nitrogen-functionalized cyclohexane derivatives with three contiguous chiral centers were synthesized by nitroalkene-selective conjugate addition of phenyllithium to a ω-nitro-α, β, ψ, ω-unsaturated ester and subsequent stereocontrolled intramolecular nitro-Michael cyclization with cesium fluoride and a quaternary ammonium bromide. The cyclohexanes were applicable to the total synthesis of α-, β-and γ-lycoranes.
