2,7-Diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes: novel asymmetric access and controlled bridge-opening†
Abstract
Organocatalysed asymmetric Michael additions of substituted triketopiperazines to enones afford products in high yield and enantiomeric ratio (er). Further modification delivers products possessing natural product (NP) scaffolds including diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, prolinamide and harmicine.
