Asymmetric Synthesis of N,O-Heterobicyclic Octanes and (-)-Geissman-Waiss Lactone.

ABSTRACT: A short, asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydro-2H-furo[3,2-b]pyrrole derivatives and (-)-Geissman-Waiss lactone starting from meso-cyclohexadiene epoxide is described. Pivotal transformations in the developed synthetic procedure include asymmetric epoxide ring opening to install the requisite 1S,5S stereocenters and oxidative lactonization/lactamization sequences. This route provides a streamlined synthetic pathway toward necine alkaloids.
