Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Stephadiamine

Abstract

An asymmetric synthesis of (+)-stephadiamine has been accomplished featuring (a) an enantioselective dearomatizative Michael addition to generate a quaternary stereocenter; (b) a domino sequence involving reductive generation of nitrone from γ-nitro ketone followed by a highly regio- and diastereo-selective intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition to construct the aza[4,3,3]propellane core with concurrent generation of two quaternary stereocenters and two functional groups ready for subsequent transformations; (c) the Curtius rearrangement of the sensitive α,α-disubstituted malonic acid mono ester for the installation of α,α-disubstituted amino ester moiety; (d) a benzylic C–H oxidation under photoredox catalytic conditions; and (e) a highly diastereoselective ketone reduction affording δ-hydroxyester preorganized for lactonization.
