摘要:
Intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of chiral hept-6-yne-azomethine ylide was attempted to construct the C/D ring system of a lycorine-type alkaloid parkacine (3). However, the cycloaddition reactions gave C/D ring-closure product with opposite configurations at 7- and 7a-carbons, comparing with the natural product. The unexpected epimerization of phenyl substituted chiral carbon may occur through imine-enamine tautomerism before the intramolecular cycloaddition.
