A Route to “all-cis” 2-Methyl-6-Substituted Piperidin-3-ol Alkaloids from syn-(2R,1′S)-2-(1-Dibenzylaminomethyl)epoxide: Rapid Total Synthesis of (+)-Deoxocassine
Résumé
A general strategy leading to the synthesis of two cis-2methyl-6-substituted piperidin-3-ols is described. syn-(2R,1ЈS)-2-(1-Dibenzylaminomethyl) epoxide (13) was used as common building block. The key step involved oxirane ring opening of 13 by the nucleophilic lithium aza-enolate of
