Enantioselective total synthesis of (−)-α-kainic acid

An enantioselective total synthesis of (−)-α-kainic acid is described. Key steps are an Ir-catalyzed allylic amination with a propargylic amine to provide an enyne and a diastereoselective intramolecular Pauson−Khand reaction. Subsequent steps involve a Baeyer−Villiger reaction, reduction of the res...

Description
Summary:An enantioselective total synthesis of (−)-α-kainic acid is described. Key steps are an Ir-catalyzed allylic amination with a propargylic amine to provide an enyne and a diastereoselective intramolecular Pauson−Khand reaction. Subsequent steps involve a Baeyer−Villiger reaction, reduction of the resulting lactone, and direct Jones oxidation of a silyl ether.
