Abstract
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids and their derivatives often feature interesting biological activities. A class of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-1-one derivatives has been explored as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease, but enantioselective synthesis of these molecules is still elusive. We report that enantioselective N-allylation of N-silyl pyrrole latent nucleophiles with allylic fluorides followed by hydrogenation and diastereoselective Friedel-Crafts cyclization constitute an efficient synthetic route to access enantioenriched substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-1-ones.
