Enantiomerically enriched oximes bearing stereogenic quaternary carbon centers can be obtained by lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of oxime esters. Substrate specificity, solvent effects, and the use of different lipases are discussed. Kinetic resolution of butyrylated oximes by lipase PS in the presence of n-butanol gave the best ee-values of both the saponified oxime and the residual oxime ester. Subsequent stereospecific Beckmann rearrangement of an enantiomerically enriched oxime provided lactams, which could be employed for the synthesis of optically active perhydro histrionicotoxin.Key words: oxime, lipase, kinetic resolution, Beckmann rearrangement, perhydro histrionicotoxin.

ABSTRACT. A series of crinane-type alkaloid ambelline derivatives were assessed for their potency to inhibit both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), which has been shown to be effective medicine for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. However, no enzyme modification has been reported total synthesis. In this work, two possible theoretical synthesis paths of Crinane-type alkaloid ambelline were discussed in this article. The major difficulty of the proposed synthesis was the synthesis of the quaternary carbon. One of the approaches emphasized on the reactions between cyclic and heterocyclic compounds and substrates on the intermediates to generate the quaternary carbon shown on the desired product. The other approach utilized series of amine reactions and Michael addition to create the precursor for the reactant in the Diels-Alder reaction and, therefore, the quaternary carbon, and finally, the desired natural product was obtained after a weak acid workup. The synthesis of ambelline has the potential to provide new pathways for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

AbstractCyclohexane-angularly-fused triquinanes, 6-5-5-5 tetra­cycles, have attracted the attention of synthetic chemists due to their highly congested core structures and multiple quaternary carbon centers. This review focuses on the six completed total synthesis of naturally occurring cyclohexane-angularly-fused triquinanes in addition to seven notable methodologies that have been developed for the synthesis of these structures.1 Introduction2 6-5-5-5 Tetracycles Containing a Linear Triquinane2.1 Total Synthesis of Cyclopiane Diterpenes2.2 Synthetic Approach toward Aberrarane Diterpenes2.3 Intermediates in the Total Synthesis of Magellanine-Type Alkaloids3 6-5-5-5 Tetracycles Containing an Angular Triquinane3.1 Total Synthesis of Waihoensene3.2 Miscellaneous Approaches4 Conclusion
