Total Synthesis of (±)-Azaspirene via Crystallization-induced Diastereomer Transformation

The total synthesis of racemic azaspirene was accomplished over 12 steps in a 17% overall yield via a convergent strategy featuring the coupling of isocyanate and 3(2H)-furanone and an intramolecular aldol reaction to construct the spiro core. Later, a complete conversion was achieved via the crysta...

Zusammenfassung:The total synthesis of racemic azaspirene was accomplished over 12 steps in a 17% overall yield via a convergent strategy featuring the coupling of isocyanate and 3(2H)-furanone and an intramolecular aldol reaction to construct the spiro core. Later, a complete conversion was achieved via the crystallization-induced diastereomer transformation of the kinetically favored epimer—produced primarily via spirocyclic construction—to the thermodynamically stable and desirable epimer. Finally, a stereoselective hydration produced the target azaspirene.
