Organic letters 2008 Dec 4The stereoselective total synthesis of the marine alkaloid (-)-amathaspiramide F (1) was achieved from the alpha-hydoxy-alpha-ethynylsilane 2. The crucial steps in this synthesis involved not only the enolate Claisen rearrangement of the alpha-acyloxy-alpha-alkenylsilane 6 for the construction of the nitrogen-containing quaternary carbon center, but also the chemoselective formation of the azaspirohemiaminal 12 using heptamethyldisilazane as the methylamine equivalent and the regioselective dibromination of the phenol moiety of 12 using n-Bu(4)NBrCl(2).
