An Improved Practical Route to (±)-Epibatidine through L-Proline Catalyzed Intramolecular Michael Addition
This paper describes a rapid and practical synthetic route involving six-step reactions towards the diastereose- lectively synthesis of (±)-endo-Epibatidine, starting from 6-chloro-3-pyridinecarboxaldehye. The effective Henry reaction gave precursor (E)-6-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)-5-nitrohex-5-en-2-one...

Zusammenfassung: | This paper describes a rapid and practical synthetic route involving six-step reactions towards the diastereose- lectively synthesis of (±)-endo-Epibatidine, starting from 6-chloro-3-pyridinecarboxaldehye. The effective Henry reaction gave precursor (E)-6-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)-5-nitrohex-5-en-2-one (3a) which could be used in the next step. Various benzoic acid derivatives were used to optimize intramolecular Michael addition of ketone to pyridinylnitroolefins to provide the key intermediate 3-(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)-4-nitrocyclohexanone (±)-7a) with high yield. |
