The SmI(2)-mediated cross-coupling of nitrones with β-silyl-α,β-unsaturated esters, followed by zinc reduction, allows an efficient and highly diastereoselective preparation of β-silyl lactams, which are precursors of β-hydroxy lactams through Tamao-Fleming oxidation. By applying the method to a cyclic, carbohydrate-derived nitrone, a new synthesis of (+)-australine has been realized in only 11 steps and in 21% overall yield from L-xylose.

The synthesis and reactivity of indole derivatives substituted in the benzene section was studied. Starting materials 4- and 6-iodoindole were conveniently prepared via the Batcho-Leimgruber route and purified by sublimation. Novel vicinally indolyl-substituted cyclopentanols with unexpected cis-configuration were formed by SmI2-mediated reductive dimerization of a 4-(indol-6-yl)butenone, obtained by Heck reaction.

The title compound, C32H35NO4, is an unexpected product obtained in the SmI2-mediated radical cross-coupling of a lactam 2-pyridyl sulfone with an arone. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules. In both mol-ecules, the core pyrrolidinone ring adopts an approximate envelope conformation (with the C atom bearling the benzyloxy substituent as the flap) and the cyclo-hexyl ring has a chair conformation.

Stereoselective synthesis of the C'D'E'F' ring system of maitotoxin was achieved starting from the E' ring through successive formation of the D' and C' rings based on SmI2-mediated reductive cyclization. Construction of the F' ring was accomplished via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling with a side chain fragment and Pd(II)-catalyzed cyclization of an allylic alcohol. The C'D'E'F' ring system inhibited maitotoxin-induced Ca(2+) influx in rat glioma C6 cells with an IC50 value of 59 μM.

We report, for the first time, the synthesis of 8-aza-analogues of PGE2. The SmI2-mediated cross coupling reactions of γ-lactam-hemiaminal 9, lactam 2-pyridyl sulfide 17, and lactam 2-pyridyl sulfone 18 with activated alkenes/alkyne were first developed, giving the corresponding γ-lactams in 49-78%, 45-75%, and 75-90%, respectively. The reactions of lactam 2-pyridyl sulfide and 2-pyridyl sulfone proceeded with ≥12:1 trans-diastereoselectivities.
