(-)- and (+)-Geissman-Waiss lactone, 4b, was efficiently prepared via the intramolecular C-H insertion reaction of the chiral nonracemic diazoacetates (-)-5a and (+)-5b catalyzed by dirhodium(II) tetrakis[methyl (5R and 5S)-3-phenylpropanoyl-2-imidazolidinone-5-carboxylate]. The cyclization was found to proceed with excellent regioselectivity and cis-diastereoselectivity. The bicyclic lactone (-)-4b was successfully used in the synthesis of the necine base, (-)-turneforcidine 2.

A short, asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydro-2-furo[3,2-]pyrrole derivatives and (-)-Geissman-Waiss lactone starting from -cyclohexadiene epoxide is described. Pivotal transformations in the developed synthetic procedure include asymmetric epoxide ring opening to install the requisite 1,5 stereocenters and oxidative lactonization/lactamization sequences. This route provides a streamlined synthetic pathway toward necine alkaloids.

A synthesis of 11-methoxy mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, a new member of the mitragynine class of opioid agonists, from a derivative of the Geissman-Waiss lactone is described. An internal attack of an electron-rich aromatic ring on an electrophilic nitrilium ion and a late-stage construction of the functionalized piperidine ring by the method of reductive cyclization are the pivotal transformations; both ring annulations proceed in a highly diastereoselective fashion. The construction of substituted indoxyl frameworks by the interrupted Ugi method offers an attractive alternative to the strategy of oxidatively rearranging indoles.

The author and his group have been developing new reactions based on molecular structure characteristics; sigma-symmetric bifunctional molecules, dipole-dipole repulsion, active amide structures, latent active species, orbital-orbital interactions, nonbonded interactions, strained structures, allenic structures, etc. Various new reactions such as asymmetric aminolyses and Dieckmann-type cyclizations of prochiral sigma-symmetric dicarboxylic diamides, asymmetric aldol-type reactions onto gamma-hydroxybutenolides and asymmetric imine alkylations onto omega-acetoxy lactams using chiral Sn(II) enolates, asymmetric Pummerer-type reactions, cascade reactions and endo-mode cyclizations exploiting alpha,beta-unsaturated allenic esters and ketones, base- and palladium-promoted ring-expansion reactions, and syntheses of alpha-substituted serines and 1-azabicyclo [1.1.
