The title ligand (I) affords the corresponding alcohols in excellent enantiomeric purity. The outcome of the reaction and the rate of the competing base-catalyzed process leading to by-products such as (VI) depends on the substitution pattern of the ketone and the stoichiometry of the base. After optimization of the conditions, alcohols (IIIa) and (IIIb) are isolated in high yields and enantioselectivities and used as key intermediates for the synthesis of the pharmaceutically active chromenoimidazoles (IV). -(PALMER*, A.

The reaction of the pyrrolidine enamine derived from l-benzyl-2,5_piperidinedione with acrolein a... more The reaction of the pyrrolidine enamine derived from l-benzyl-2,5_piperidinedione with acrolein afforded a 3,6,9-trifunctionalized 2-azabicyclo[3.3.1] nonane system, which could be isolated as a stable ketone hydrate. n The 2-azabicycloC3.3.llnonane (morphan) systemL is present in many natural and synthetic compounds. For this reason, when functionalized, morphans have been used as intermediates in the synthesis of more complex polycyclic structures. The closure of the morphan nucleus generally implies C-l as the pivotal atom. 2 In contrast, the use of the bridged C-5 as the promoter of ring closure has been little explored so far. 3 We report here a new, direct entry to the Z-azabicyclo[3.3.l]nonane system consisting in an a,a'-annelation reaction from a 2,5_piperidinedione enamine by a one--pot, multistep process that implies formation of C The required enamine 25 l-C8 and C5-C6 bonds, the latter in the last step.4 was prepared (pyrrolidine, C6H6, TsOH, 3 i molecular sieve , rfx, 45 min) in nearly quantitative yield from ketone 1.6 Treatment of 2 with acrolein (dioxane, 0°C; then rt, 2 h; then H20, 1 h) afforded (44% yield) an epimeric mixture of pyrrolidino adducts 3a' and 3b8 (aproximate ratio 2:l). Although their easy epimerization precluded their separation, a sample of the major isomer 3a could be obtained in a pure form from the corresponding hydrate 4a (vide tifiu). The stereochemical assignment of 3a was effected from its nmr data, in particular from the chemical shift and multiplicity of protons at the 4-and 6-positions7 and the shielding of C-4, as compared with 3b, induced by a Y-effect (see ).

Tributyltin hydride treatment of trichloroacetamides 5a and 5b gives morphan derivatives (1 and 2), through a 6-exo-trig radical cyclization, and unexpectedly normorphans 6 and 7 as a result of a stereoespecific process in which the stereogenic benzylic carbon undergoes a configurational inversion.

The results revealed a remarkable antiproliferative activity of the triphenylphosphane mononuclear compounds 3-4 (series a, b, c) and the best inhibition was provided for 3c and 4c with the 2-phenylaniline ligand and a six membered chelate ring. Interestingly, 3c and 4c were 14 and 19 times more potent than cisplatin for the inhibition of the cisplatin resistant HCT116 human adenocarcinoma cell line, respectively. Cyclopalladated complexes 3c and 4c exercise their antiproliferative activity over A549 cells mainly through the induction of apoptosis (38 and 31-fold increase in early apoptotic cells, respectively).

Bicyclic α-aril-β-amino ketones 7 easily undergo a retro-Michael ring opening to give the corresponding 2-arylcyclohexenones 8.
