For decades, akuammiline alkaloids have attracted synthetic chemists due to their intriguing molecular architecture. Among the different structural elements embedded in their carboskeleton, the methanoquinolizidine system constitutes the signature structural element of this alkaloid family. Herein, we describe a novel synthetic access to this system which relies on a [2,3]-Stevens rearrangement and results in the formal synthesis of strictamine.

The [1,2]- and [2,3]-Stevens rearrangements are one of the most fascinating chemical bond reorganization strategies in organic chemistry, and they have been demonstrated in a wide range of applications, representing a fundamental reaction tactic for the synthesis of nitrogen compounds in chemical community. However, their applicabilities are limited by the scarcity of efficient, general, and straightforward methods for generating ammonium ylides. Herein, we report a general difluorocarbene-induced tertiary amine-involved [1,2]- and [2,3]-Stevens rearrangements stemmed from in situ generated difluoromethyl ammonium ylides, which allows for the rearrangements of versatile tertiary amines bearing either allyl, benzyl, or propargyl groups, resulting in the corresponding products in one reaction under the same reaction conditions with a general way.

Patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM) occasionally develop diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This mostly results from LPL/WM transformation, although clonally unrelated DLBCL can also arise. LPL/WM is characterized by activating (>95%) and mutations (~30%), but the genetic drivers of transformation remain to be identified.

Herein, for the first time we have explored the umpolung reactivity of the vinylogous carbon center of diazo arylidene succinimide (DAS) through rhodium catalysis to achieve [2,3]-Stevens rearrangement of α-thioether esters. The protocol has successfully demonstrated the distal C-H bond functionalization of the α-thioether esters. Alongside, the carbenoid reactivity of DAS has also been achieved with Doyle-Kirmse reaction of allyl/propargyl phenyl sulfides.

Asymmetric Catalytic Rearrangements with α-Diazocarbonyl Compounds.

α-Diazocarbonyl compounds serve as nucleophiles, dipoles, carbene precursors, and rare electrophiles, enabling a vast array of organic transformations under the influence of metal catalysts. Among them, rearrangement processes are attractive and provide straightforward and efficient accesses to one-carbon extension adducts or heteroatom-containing molecules. The reactions occur upon the release of dinitrogen after nucleophilic addition or before ylide formation.
