Pyridone annulation via tandem Curtius rearrangement/6π-electrocyclization: total synthesis of (-)-lyconadin C.

ABSTRACT: A concise, enantioselective total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid (-)-lyconadin C was achieved in 12 steps and high overall yield. Key features include construction of a luciduline congener through Mannich-type cyclization and a one-pot, tandem Curtius rearrangement/6π-electrocyclization to fashion the 2-pyridone system of lyconadin C.
