Аннотация:An asymmetric total synthesis of Merck’s hNK1 antagonist and three of its stereoisomers was accomplished in 10 steps. The synthesis involves a stereoselective assembly of 1,2-oxazine N-oxide by the [4 + 2]-cycloaddition, site-selective C–H oxygenation using a novel tandem acylation/[3,3]-rearrangement process and the reductive 1,2-oxazine ring contraction into a pyrrolidine ring as key stages. Using this strategy, the fused pyrrolidine subunit was constructed with exceptionally high regio- and stereoselectivities. The approach described here can be used to access enantiopure 3,4-disubstituted prolinols, which are frequently found in pharmaceutically relevant molecules and organocatalysts.
