Abstract
We have synthesized two natural alkaloids, oncinotine (1) and neooncinotine (2), by means of efficient ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions. The required dienes for RCM were assembled from three basic components: 2-allylpiperidine (5), 9-decenoic acid (6), and diamines 7. We developed two different methods to achieve the linkage: the Michael addition of acrylamide and two amidations of succinic anhydride. The Grubbs catalyst was used to form the 17- and 18-membered lactams in 50% and 68% yields, respectively.
