11 (E)-Crotylamines
were prepared from (E)-crotonaldehyde, by
LAH reduction and PBr3 bromination to give (E)-crotyl bromide. Amine 5a was
prepared by amination with morpholine at 0 ˚C
in CH2Cl2, whilst amine 5b was
prepared using the sodium hydride derived sodium salt of pyrrolidine and
TBAI in THF.
13 We found that the TES groups were
cleaved during the dihydroxylation step to give extremely polar
triols and the use of TBDMS groups was unsatisfactory as they did
not spontaneously cleave during the cyclization step and, instead,
gave unwanted products.

General Procedure
for the Synthesis of Amides 4: To a stirred suspension of AlCl3 (0.1
mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL) under an atmosphere
of N2, a solution of (E)-4-(but-2-enyl)amine 5 (1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5
mL) was added dropwise, followed by diisopropylethylamine (1.5 mmol) dropwise.
The resultant mixture was stirred at r.t. for 15 min, then a solution
of acid chloride 6 (1.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL)
was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred at r.t.
for 24 h. Aq NaOH (10 mL) was added, the layers were separated and
the aqueous layer was further extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15
mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (20 mL),
dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash
chromatography to give the amides 4 in 24-88% yields.
General Procedure for the Synthesis
of Ketones 7: To a solution of aryl bromide (1.2 mmol) in THF
(20 mL) under an atmosphere of N2 at -78 ˚C,
was added, either n-BuLi (1.2 mmol for 8a) or t-BuLi
(2.4 mmol for 8b-d)
and the resultant solution was stirred for 10 min. A solution of
amide 4 (1 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was then
added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at -78 ˚C
and slowly warmed to r.t. over 2-18 h. Sat. NH4Cl
solution (20 mL) was added and the aqueous mixture was extracted
with EtOAc (3 × 30 mL). The combined
organic extracts were dried (MgSO4) and the solvent was
removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified
by flash chromatography to give the ketones 7
in 43-96% yields.
General Procedure for the Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans
12: To a solution of alcohol 11 (1
mmol) and Et3N (1.6 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25
mL) under an atmosphere of N2 was added MsCl (1.3 mmol)
and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1-2 h. Sat NaHCO3 solution (10
mL) was added, the layers were separated and the aqueous layer was
further extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 15 mL).
The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and
the solvent was removed in vacuo. The
crude product was purified by flash chromatography to give the tetrahydrofurans 12 in 63-81% yields.
