Abstract
The synthesis of a range of loline alkaloids is reported. The C(7) and C(7a) stereogenic centers for the targets were formed by the established conjugate addition of lithium (S)-N-benzyl-N-(α-methylbenzyl)amide to tert-butyl 5-benzyloxypent-2-enoate, ensuing enolate oxidation to give an α-hydroxy-β-amino ester, and then formal exchange of the resultant amino and hydroxyl functionalities (via the intermediacy of the corresponding aziridinium ion) to give an α-amino-β-hydroxy ester. Subsequent transformation gave a 3-hydroxyprolinal derivative which was converted to the corresponding N-tert-butylsulfinylimine. Mannich-type reaction with the enolate derived from O-Boc protected methyl glycolate then formed the remaining C(1) and C(2) stereogenic centers for the targets. The 2,7-ether bridge was formed by a displacement reaction, completing construction of the loline alkaloid core. Facile manipulations then gave a range of loline alkaloids, including loline itself.

Abstract
A library of pinane-based 2-amino-1,3-diols was synthesised in a stereoselective manner. Isopinocarveol prepared from (−)-α-pinene was converted into condensed oxazolidin-2-one in two steps by carbamate formation followed by a stereoselective aminohydroxylation process. The relative stereochemistry of the pinane-fused oxazolidin-2-one was determined by 2D NMR and X-ray spectroscopic techniques. The regioisomeric spiro-oxazolidin-2-one was prepared in a similar way starting from the commercially available (1R)-(−)-myrtenol (10). The reduction or alkaline hydrolysis of the oxazolidines, followed by reductive alkylation resulted in primary and secondary 2-amino-1,3-diols, which underwent a regioselective ring closure with formaldehyde or benzaldehyde delivering pinane-condensed oxazolidines. During the preparation of 2-phenyliminooxazolidine, an interesting ring–ring tautomerism was observed in CDCl3.

Abstract
The Petasis boron-Mannich reaction, simply referred to as the Petasis reaction, is a powerful multicomponent coupling reaction of a boronic acid, an amine, and a carbonyl derivative. Highly functionalized amines with multiple stereogenic centers can be efficiently accessed via the Petasis reaction with high levels of both diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity. By drawing attention to examples reported in the past 8 years, this Review demonstrates the breadth of the reactivity and synthetic applications of Petasis reactions in several frontiers: the expansion of the substrate scope in the classic three-component process; nonclassic Petasis reactions with additional components; Petasis-type reactions with noncanonical substrates, mechanism, and products; new asymmetric versions assisted by chiral catalysts; combinations with a secondary or tertiary transformation in a cascade- or sequence-specific manner to access structurally complex, natural-product-like heterocycles; and the synthesis of polyhydroxy alkaloids and biologically interesting molecules.

Abstract
The Petasis three-component reaction (PR) of hydroxy aldehydes, amines and boronic acids is an important multi-component reaction for the synthesis of structurally diverse scaffolds and biologically interesting small molecules. The reaction has been significantly explored in the past decade, and many new variants have emerged, such as asymmetric, traceless and four-component approaches. The excellent stereoselectivity, high yield and broad functional group tolerance altogether make this reaction ideal for fragment and compound collection synthesis, since orthogonal chemical handles can be incorporated for subsequent scaffold formation and appendage modification. Herein we present a selection of recent variations on the PR theme for the synthesis of scaffolds of relevance to medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
![]()
The core of the loline
family of insecticidal alkaloids is the
bicyclic pyrrolizidine unit with an additional strained ether bridge
between carbons 2 and 7. Previously reported genetic and in
vivo biochemical analyses showed that the presumptive iron-
and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent (Fe/2OG) oxygenase, LolO, is required
for installation of the ether bridge upon the pathway intermediate,
1-exo-acetamidopyrrolizidine (AcAP). Here we show
that LolO is, in fact, solely responsible for this biosynthetic four-electron
oxidation. In sequential 2OG- and O2-consuming steps, LolO
removes hydrogens from C2 and C7 of AcAP to form both carbon–oxygen
bonds in N-acetylnorloline (NANL), the precursor
to all other lolines. When supplied with substoichiometric 2OG, LolO
only hydroxylates AcAP. At higher 2OG:AcAP ratios, the enzyme further
processes the alcohol to the tricyclic NANL. Characterization of the
alcohol intermediate by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance
spectroscopy shows that it is 2-endo-hydroxy-1-exo-acetamidopyrrolizidine (2-endo-OH-AcAP).
Kinetic and spectroscopic analyses of reactions with site-specifically
deuteriated AcAP substrates confirm that the C2–H bond is cleaved
first and that the responsible intermediate is, as expected, an FeIV–oxo (ferryl) complex. Analyses of the loline products
from cultures fed with stereospecifically deuteriated AcAP precursors,
proline and aspartic acid, establish that LolO removes the endo hydrogens
from C2 and C7 and forms both new C–O bonds with retention
of configuration. These findings delineate the pathway to an important
class of natural insecticides and lay the foundation for mechanistic
dissection of the chemically challenging oxacyclization reaction.

A seven-step synthesis of peramine, which required three chromatographic separations, is described. Key to the synthesis is an enolate alkylation of a pyrrole-fused diketopiperazine, reduction of the acyl pyrrole, and dehydration of the intermediate pyrrolyl carbinol to establish the pyrrolopyrazine core of peramine.
