13.2.5.3. Nonstabilized Azomethine Ylides Several groups have developed
approaches to the generation of nonstabilized azomethine ylides for cycloaddi-
tions [65]. For example, Vedejs and Martinez employed an imidate-derived azo-
methine ylide in their synthesis of retronecine. Exposure of lactam 167 to methyl
triflate produced iminium salt 168 (Scheme 13.35) [66]. The silane group in 168 was
then treated with CsF to give ylide 169 that underwent cycloaddition with methyl
acrylate giving 170 in 51% yield. A series of oxidation state manipulations and
deprotection gave (
)-retronecine.
A few years later, Pandey and Lakshmaiah devised a strategy that used
pyrrolidine 171 , available from optically active 4-hydroxy- L -proline, as the azo-
methine ylide precursor (Scheme 13.36) [67]. In this approach, the desilylation of 171
