Abstract

The key transformation in the total synthesis of (+)-elaeokanine A was accomplished by asymmetric deprotonation of N-Boc pyrrolidine, followed by the reaction of the in situ generated enantioenriched stereogenic cuprate reagent with (E)-4-bromo-1-iodo-1-trimethylsilyl-1-butene with retention of configuration. N-Boc deprotection, followed by a one-pot olefin isomerization and intramolecular amine alkylation afforded a bicyclic vinyl bromide that was converted into (+)-elaeokanine A by sequential halogen metal exchange and reaction of the organolithium reagent with N-butanoylmorpholine.
