Abstract
We report a visible-light palladium-catalyzed multicomponent reaction enabling efficient synthesis of 2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octenes via a multicomponent coupling of cyclic 1,3-dienes, gem-dichloroalkanes, and amines. Mechanistic studies indicate a radical pathway with selective dechlorination and high 1,4-syn diastereoselectivity. This mild, efficient method provides sp3-rich bicyclic scaffolds amenable to further derivatization. Its utility is demonstrated in concise syntheses of bioactive alkaloids, including deethylibogamine and Rauwolfia analogues, highlighting its potential for complex molecule construction in medicinal chemistry.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
