The reactions of N-acyliminium ions with tethered π-bonds are among the most important methods for preparing complex nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Pummerer-based cyclizations are also finding widespread application in both carbo- and heterocyclic syntheses. As part of a program concerned with new methods for alkaloid synthesis, we became interested in using a linked Pummerer/N-acyliminium ion cyclization sequence since we felt that this combination offers unique opportunities for the assemblage of complex target molecules. A synthetic method that combines transformations of different reaction types significantly broadens the scope of such procedures in synthetic chemistry. α-Thiocarbocations generated from the Pummerer reaction of β-phenylsulfinylmethyl-α,β-unsaturated amides can be intercepted by the adjacent amido group to produce transient amino- substituted furans, which undergo subsequent Diels-Alder cycloadditions. Using this domino amido-Pummerer/Diels-Alder cascade, we were able to assemble novel polycyclic systems in a single operation. The key step in the process involves the generation of a reactive N-acyliminium ion by fragmentation of an amino-substituted [4+2] cycloadduct. The successful synthesis of a number of alkaloids by this sequence of reactions reveals the usefulness and importance of this unique domino cascade.

Despite the broad utility and application of SmI<sub>2</sub>in synthesis, the reagent is used in stoichiometric amounts and has a high molecular weight, resulting in a large amount of material being used for reactions requiring one or more equivalents of electrons. We report mechanistic studies on catalytic reactions of Sm(II) employing a terminal magnesium reductant and trimethyl silyl chloride in concert with a non-coordinating proton donor source. Reactions using this approach permitted reductions with as little as 1 mol% Sm. The mechanistic approach enabled catalysis employing HMPA as a ligand, facilitating the development of catalytic Sm(II) 5-<i>exo</i>-<i>trig </i>ketyl olefin cyclization reactions.
