Hasubanan Alkaloids
• Family of over 40 botanical natural products• Traditionally used in Chinese medicine• All share aza[4.4.3]-propellane skeleton• Structurally related to opium alkaloids (although opposite enantiomers), and
is thought to possess analgesic properties for this reason.• Synthesis of other hasubanan alkaloids published by the Reisman group
(CalTech) in the same volume of ACIE.

Diels-Alder protection strategy
• Azaquinones are unstable to isomerization to 5-hydroxyindoles
• Enantioselective Diels Alder with 5-TMS-cyclopentadiene serves as a directing group for absolute stereochemistry and prevents isomerization to 5-hydroxyindole

Synthesis of (-)-hasubanonine

Synthesis of (-)-runanine

Synthesis of (-)-delavayine and (+)-periglaucine B

Retro Diels-Alder
• TMS group greatly increases reactivity towards retro diels-alder, because of stereoelctronic effects of the C-Si bond.

Conclusion
• (-)-hasubanonine: 13 steps, 5% (from aryl azide)• (-)-runanine: 12 steps, 11% (from aryl azide)• (-)-delavayine: 12 steps, 12% (from aryl azide)• (+)-periglaucine: 12 steps, 9% (from aryl azide)• Very efficient route with minimal protections• TMS-cyclopentadiene Diels-Alder/ retro Diels-Alder
directing/protection strategy was developed and is proposed to be general.
