摘要
Some Stemona alkaloids belonging to the tuberostemospironine group possess a spirolactone moiety with anti-configuration （C-9/C-9a）. In this paper, we describe two approaches to this structural unity. By using bromine atom as a traceless directing group, the SmI2-mediated reductive coupling of ketone 6 and fl-bromomethacrylate proceeded with complete anti-diastereoselectivity. In the absence of an a-directing （chelation） group, the one-pot reaction of the ketone derived from alcohol 15 with the organozinc reagent generated from bromomethacrylate af- forded spiro-a-methylene-y-lactone derivative 16 as a single diastereomer. These two highly diastereoselective methods would find application in the synthesis of stemona alkaloids containing anti-configured spiro-lactone/pyr- rolidine moieties. In addition, on the basis of our previous work, the total synthesis of （-）-9-epi-11-demethyl- sessilifoliamide J （11）, and an improved synthesis of （-）-9,11-di-epi-sessilifoliamide J （9） were accomplished.
