Synthesis of an Optically Active Decahydro‐6‐isoquinolone Scaffold with a Quaternary Stereocenter

Abstract: A straightforward synthesis of optically active decahydro‐6‐isoquinolone derivative 3, containing a quaternary stereocenter, is reported. The starting (R)‐configured enantiopure enone 2, which is readily accessible through a copper‐catalyzed, L‐valine amide mediated Michael reaction and a subsequent Robinson annulation, was hydrogenated with Pd/C in iPrOH to give the decahydroisoquinolone 4. Treatment of 4 with ethyleneglycol in the presence of PPTS yielded the dioxolane‐protected derivative 7. A sequence of e… Show more

“…Finally, catalytic hydrogenation proceeded smoothly and should be performed in isopropanol as solvent in order to prevent acetal formation (if EtOH or MeOH are used). 15 The racemic products 7a and 7b now have an additional stereocenter, but they are obtained as single diastereoisomers as evidenced by NMR. Attempts to elucidate the relative configuration by ROESY experiments were not successful, but the relative configuration was established at a later stage by X-ray crystallography (vide infra) to be cis (methyl and lactam-carbonyl group).…”

“…MPMS was synthesized using a method similar to those described in Christoffers et al (2004). MPMS-I (0.5 g, 2.3 mmol) was dissolved in EtOH (10 mL) in a Schlenk tube, degassed and placed under an argon atmosphere.…”

“…Use of 2-propanol instead of ethanol as the solvent prevents ketal formation at the carbonyl group. [16] Finally, we showed that the N-Boc protective group installed in compound 1f can be readily removed by a standard protocol [17] and in good yield (77 %) (Scheme 5, Table 4). …”
