A Pyridine Dearomatization Approach for the Gram Scale Synthesis of (±)-Sparteine.


ABSTRACT: Both enantiomers of sparteine have suffered from pricing and supply chain variability, which has inspired efforts toward efficient chemical synthesis. Here, we build upon our reported synthesis of the matrine-type lupin alkaloids in order to synthesize (±)-sparteine. Specifically, selective quenching of the cyclization between glutaryl chloride and pyridine with methanol provides a functionalized quinolizidine core that was elaborated to (±)-sparteine in six additional steps on gram scale. This synthesis provides a scalable route to sparteine from inexpensive commodity chemicals utilizing a dearomative cyclization. In addition, this route provides concise access to (±)-lupinine.
