Popis: The asymmetric total synthesis of UCS1025A is accomplished by establishing a novel and efficient method for the construction of a tricyclic pyrrolizidinone skeleton based on a sequential Michael-retro Michael strategy. The key step is a one-pot six-step cascade reaction including oxidation of a primary alcohol to the corresponding carboxylic acid, a retro thio-Michael reaction, and an intramolecular oxy-Michael reaction. This newly-developed synthetic strategy inspired by “masked” electrophilic character of tricyclic pyrrolizidinone is efficient and high-yielding compared to that developed in previously-reported total syntheses.
