Abstract
The racemic synthesis of the common propellane core structure found in various hasubanan alkaloids is reported. The successful completion hinged upon the stereocontrolled construction of the cis-substituted heterobicycle as a precursor for the intramolecular Dieckmann condensation. A novel strategy is introduced for the facile hydrolysis of a sterically demanding carboxamide under a mild condition. The 2-nitroanilide obtained by the Goldberg arylation of a carboxamide with 2-iodonitrobenzene was readily converted to the corresponding ester derivative by way of N-acylbenzotriazole. We expect that the reported synthetic route will allow the synthesis of a series of hasubanan alkaloids starting from the correspondingly functionalized 2-tetralone derivatives.
