Scale-up synthesis of swainsonine: A potent #-mannosidase II inhibitor

The large-scale synthesis of Swainsonine 1, a potent α-mannosidase II inhibitor, has been achieved with several improvements. The key modifications were (a) performing the Wittig olefination under mild conditions and isolation of the product 4 with modified workup conditions, (b) introduction of the azido group on a large scale under Mitsunobu conditions to produce 12, (c) performing the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of an unactivated azide 12 to afford the imino carboxylic ester 7, (d) formation of amide 10 from 7 under mild acidic conditions, and (e) isolation of the final compound 1 as a stable hydrochloride salt. In addition, synthesis of 11 was accomplished from 12 by telescoping the four steps.
Intramolecular 5-endo-trig aminopalladation of β-hydroxy-γ- alkenylamine: Efficient route to a pyrrolidine ring and its application for the synthesis of (-)-8,8a-di-epi-swainsonine

The intramolecular aminopalladation reaction of l-serine derived β-hydroxy-γ-alkenylamines undergoes 5-endo-trig cyclization to furnish pyrrolidine rings in high yields. The pyrrolidines thus obtained were used in the synthesis of (-)-8,8a-di-epi-swainsonine, a specific and competitive inhibitor (Ki value 2 × 10-6 M) of lysosomal α-mannosidases.
Nitrenium ion-mediated alkene bis-cyclofunctionalization: Total synthesis of (-)-swainsonine
Wardrop, Duncan J.,Bowen, Edward G.

Chemical equations presented. The total synthesis of (-)-swainsonine from 2,3-O-isopropylidene-d-erythrose in 12 steps and an overall yield of 28% is reported. The pivotal transformation in our route to this indolizidine alkaloid is the formation of the pyrrolidine ring and C-8a/8 stereodiad through the diastereoselective, bis-cyclofunctionalization of an γ,ss-unsaturated O-alkyl hydroxamate. This transformation is believed to proceed via the intramolecular capture of an N-acyl-N-alkoxyaziridinium ion generated by the diastereoselective addition of a singlet acylnitrenium ion to the pendant alkene.
