Abstract
Abstract The first enantioselective synthesis of ( S )-5-bromo-3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)pyridine is described via intramolecular hydroboration–cycloalkylation of an azido-olefin intermediate. The chiral homoallylic alcohol was efficiently synthesized by enantioselective reduction of the corresponding ketone using (+)-diisopinocamphenylchloroborane as the key reaction. The total synthesis of ( S )-SIB-1508Y was achieved with an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) of 94% in ten steps and in 18% overall yield from the commercially available 5-bromo-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid.
