Abstract
A hydroxy group in the allylic position directed the stereochemistry of cyclisation of allylic acetates to form nitrogen heterocycles, giving the trans isomer for the piperidine and the cis isomer for the pyrrolidine. A formal synthesis of (±)-swainsonine was achieved.
Key words
piperidine - palladium - pyrrolidine - alkaloid - cyclisation

References and Notes
A solution of allylic acetate 9 (389 mg, 1.05 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (60 mg, 5 mol%), and tetramethyl guanidine (131 µL, 1.05 mmol) in THF (5 mL) under nitrogen was stirred at r.t. for 4 h. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 30% EtOAc-hexane) to give piperidine 10 (mixture of isomers) as a colourless oil. Major isomer: ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 8.12-8.05 (1 H, m), 7.71-7.62 (3 H, m), 5.75 (1 H, ddd, J = 17, 11, 5 Hz), 5.24 (1 H, ddd, J = 11, 2, 1 Hz), 5.23 (1 H, ddd, J = 17, 2, 1 Hz), 4.51 (1 H, m), 3.95 (1 H, m), 3.83 (1 H, br d, J = 13 Hz), 3.24 (1 H, dt, J = 13, 3 Hz), 1.98-1.85 (1 H, m), 1.78-1.63 (2 H, m), 1.49 (1 H, m). ¹³C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 148.0, 133.7, 133.4, 132.0, 131.8, 131.1, 124.3, 124.1, 118.9, 67.5, 61.6, 41.9, 25.6, 19.0.
8The corresponding t-Boc and aloc-protected substrates failed to cyclise under these conditions.
