Abstract

Samarium diiodide-promoted reductive deamination reaction was applied to 5,5-disubstitued 3-oxopyrrolidines to provide 4,4-disubstituted 4-aminobutan-2-one derivatives, where the carbon-nitrogen bond cleavage took place at the desired position, regioselectively. This strategy was exploited in the synthesis of a coccinellid alkaloid, (-)-adalinine.
