Asymmetric tandem cycloaddition of a chiral carbohydrate nitroalkene with ethyl vinyl ether in the presence of electron-withdrawing alkenes produces a facile assembly of bicyclic systems, which can further be selectively cleaved to give homologated carbohydrates (Eq. 8.110).176

8.3.2.3 Inter [4 +2]/intra [3+2] |
This type of tandem reaction using nitroalkenes has been |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
explored most extensively. Four subfamilies of tandem cycloaddition exist, which arise from the four different points of attachment of the dipolarophilic tether. They are defined as fused, spiro, and bridged modes, as depicted in Scheme 8.37.149
Diand trisubstituted nitroalkenes tethered to dipolarophiles (unsaturated esters, nitriles) undergo tandem [4+2]/[3+2] cycloadditions with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene or butyl vinyl ether in the presence of Lewis acids (Eq. 8.112). For the dimethylene tether, the E-configuration of the dipolarophile is preferred, and the products arise selectively from a syn-endo pathway.177

predictability and control. Furthermore, the installation of functional groups at key stereocenters can be achieved by appropriate modification of dienes and dienophiles. Finally, choice of chiral auxiliary and Lewis acid sets the absolute configuration of the molecule as a whole. There are 21 structurally 7-hydroxymethyl-substituted necines. Ten of these have the all-cis relationship exemplified in (–)-rosmarinecine and could arise from tandem inter [4+2]/intra [3+2] process, as shown in Scheme 8.40. Another seven necines have the all-trans relationship, as exemplified in (–)-hastanecine and could arise from a tandem inter [4+2]/inter [3+2] process (Scheme 8.32). Examples of different necines are classified as shown in Scheme 8.41.
The synthesis of (+)-crotanecine is accomplished in 10 steps in a 10.2% overall yield, as shown in Scheme 8.42. The key step in the asymmetric synthesis is a Lewis acid-promoted, tandem inter [4+2]/intra [3+2] cycloaddition between a (fumaroyloxy)nitroalkene and chiral β-silylvinyl ether, in which the substituted silanes are used as hydroxy synthons.181
The total syntheses of the potent glycosidase inhibitors (+)-castanospermine, (+)-6-epicas- tanosperimine, (+)-australine, and (+)-3-epiaustraline have been reported. These four natural products are derived from a single common intermediate, the nitroso acetal (as shown in Scheme 8.43), which is created in the key step by the asymmetric tandem [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition between silaketal nitroolefin and chiral vinyl ether.182 The strategy of the synthesis is outlined in Scheme 8.43. Scheme 8.44 presents a total synthesis of (+)-castanosperimine and (+)-6-epi- castanosperimine from the common intermediate prepared by tandem [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition.
