Synthesis of 3,4-fused γ-lactone-γ-lactam and γ-lactone-pyrrolidine bicyclic systems / Nur Aini Azib
In this study, bicyclic moieties 3,4-fused γ-lactone-γ-lactam and γ-lactone-pyrrolidine were chosen as the target molecules due to their highly functionalized structures and their ability to be bioactive 5,5-bicyclic molecules. The synthetic strategy was divided into three main parts in which the fi...

Condensation with methyl malonyl chloride followed by Dieckmann cyclization gave the required γ-lactam ring moiety 5 which is also known as the β,β-diketoester with an overall yield of 39%. Consequently, decarboxylation of the methyl ester functional group followed by reduction of the keto amide functionality with LiAlH4 afforded the desired pyrrolidine ring 25 in 18% overall yield.

The γ-lactam ring moiety underwent C-alkylation reaction at the C3- position via insertion of the ethyl acetyl functionality by utilizing TBAF as the base. Subsequently, selective dimethoxy-carbonylation was performed using two different decarboxylating agents which were a salt-solvent system, LiI/DMF, and an acid medium, HCl/AcOH; both successfully gave decarboxylated products but the former with the presence of C-3 methyl group as anticipated and the latter without. Accordingly, reduction of the C-4 carbonyl keto of the γ-lactam rings with NaBH4 in acid-base condition had concomitantly lactonized the systems to furnish the desired 3,4- fused γ-lactone-γ-lactam synthons 1 and 8 in 4% and 2% overall yields, respectively, in diastereomeric mixtures.
