Abstract

N-Protected amino aldehydes can be converted into allylic alcohols by the classical Morita- Baylis-Hillman reaction (cf. 2→ 3) or by condensation with selenium-stabilized carbanions, followed by oxidation (cf. 2→ 8→ 3). The derived acetates undergo cyclization when the nitrogen protecting group is removed, affording [m, n, 0]-bicyclic structures with nitrogen at a bridgehead (cf. 4→ 5→ 6). Formation of bicyclic structures via the reactions of Schemes 1 ...
