We have demonstrated that the intramolecular photocycloaddition of vinylogous amides (1, 6-dienes) 1 leads, upon retro-Mannich fragmentation of 2 and isomeric Mannich closure of the derived ketoiminium 3, to the synthesis of perhydroindoles 4, as outlined in Scheme 1. 1 The utility of this methodology for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing ring systems is underscored by the successful application of this methodology to the syntheses of mesembrine, 2 vindorosine, 3 and manzamine A. 4 We have recently examined the photocycloaddition of the corresponding 1, 5-dienes, that is, 5, and we report herein that these substrates lead to a general synthesis of azabicyclo [3, 2, 1] octanones, 8, via the “crossed” photoadduct, 6. The widespread distribution of the azabicyclo [3, 2, 1] octanone ring system in molecules of nature, that is, sarain A, 9, 5 securinine, 10, 6 and hetisine, 11, 7 and the importance of this ring system in medicinal chemistry for the development of analgesics8 and muscarinic antagonists9 suggests that the photochemistry of 5 should be of comparable utility to that of 1.The synthesis of 5 and its conversion to 8 is outlined in Scheme 2. Michael addition of allylamine to 3-butynone gave vinylogous amide 12, which on reaction with di-tert-butyl-carbonate in the presence of DMAP gave the photosubstrate 5 in 85% yield over two steps. It is interesting to note that direct irradiation of 12 did not produce the desired photoadduct, the amine analogue of 6, a result that is consistent with the work of Swindell. 10 This difference in photoreactivity can be attributed to the importance of sp2 character of the nitrogen in the photocycloaddition, an indication of the subtle balance in vinylogous amide photochem-
