Abstract
In the preparation of rigid and annulated tricyclic bis(α-amino acid) derivatives the key construction was effected by a Ru(II)-catalyzed RCM cascade reaction of gem-dienynes. The substrates were available by stepwise and stereocontrolled alkynylations and alkenylations of (2R)-2,5-dihydro-2-isopropyl-3,6-dimethoxypyrazine. The cascade products were bis-heterospiranes or symmetrical or unsymmetrical bis(α-amino acid) derivatives. Tricyclic Diels–Alder adducts were formed between diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and the diene cascade products. Oxidative aromatization provided rigid tricyclic bis(α-amino acid) derivatives. X-Ray analysis was used to verify configurational assignments.
