Abstract

A novel, efficient and stereoselective entry to azatriquinane and azasterpurane frameworks from simple aromatic precursor, is described. The methodology involves in situ generation of cyclohexa-2,4-dienones containing a tether and intramolecular π4s+π2s cycloaddition that leads to a bicyclo[2.2.2]octenone-annulated five-membered ring that contains nitrogen. Further manipulation of the resulting adduct followed by photochemical sigmatropic shifts readily furnished the azatriquinane and azasterpurane frameworks.

Key words

cyclohexa-2,4-dienone - cycloaddition - oxa-di-π-methane rearrangement - 1,3-acyl shift photochemistry
