Abstract

In this project, the asymmetric pressure and transfer hydrogenation of a number of
substrates was carried out in attempt to asymmetrically form 5-substituted 6-
membered saturated heterocycles, directly applicable to the asymmetric synthesis of
(-)-cytisine and other related compounds. The hydrogenation of N-acylaminoacrylate-
like enamide 1 was successful, resulting in the formation of 5-
substituted glutarimide 218 in up to 94 % ee. Unfortunately, subsequent reduction
resulted in epimerisation and loss of ee, preventing an asymmetric synthesis of (-)-
cytisine precursor 5. The asymmetric reduction of pyridones 2 and 3 (featuring
proximal coordinating groups) did not proceed with any enantioselectivity; however,
the racemic reduction products were successfully utilised in novel syntheses of
cytisine precursor 5 and bispiperidine 6 respectively. The ATH of pyridyl methyl
ketone 4 with (R,R)-RutethTsDPEN, (R,R)-248 resulted in the formation of pyridyl
alcohol 303 in 78-83 % ee. This compound was converted to diastereomers (D1)-7a
and (D2)-7b which are derivates of a cytisine precursor and other therapeutic targets.
