Diastereoselective Synthesis of Polysubstituted Pyrrolidinone as a Key Intermediate for the Anticancer Agents by Palladium(II)­Catalyzed Carboxylation

  • Published : 2005.02.01

Abstract

Palladium(II)-catalyzed carboxylation of chiral olefins 6a-d has been examined under various conditions. In the weak basic condition ($K_{2}CO_3$), 7a-d were obtained in good yields. Alternatively, in the strong basic condition, pyrrolidinones 8a-d were obtained resulting in excellent yields and with high diastereoselectivity.
