Gold-Catalyzed One-Step Construction of 2,3-Dihydro-1H-Pyrrolizines with an Electron-Withdrawing group in the 5-position: A Formal Synthesis of 7-Methoxymitosene

What a ring formation! Bicyclic dihydropyrrolizines with an electron‐withdrawing group (EWG) at the 5‐position are formed in one step from linear azidoenynes under gold catalysis. This novel route involves the use of azide as a nitrene precursor, electronically‐controlled regioselectivity, and the g...

Zusammenfassung:What a ring formation! Bicyclic dihydropyrrolizines with an electron‐withdrawing group (EWG) at the 5‐position are formed in one step from linear azidoenynes under gold catalysis. This novel route involves the use of azide as a nitrene precursor, electronically‐controlled regioselectivity, and the generation of destabilized 1‐azapentadienium ions and their pericyclic reactions. This method was used for a formal synthesis of 7‐methoxymitosene (see scheme).
