Abstract

Cyclisations of homoallylic sulfonamides proceed smoothly via carbeniumion generation using trifluoromethanesulfonic (triflic) acid, the ease of cyclisation being directly related to the ion stability to give good to excellent yields of the corresponding pyrrolidines. Both toluene- and nitrophenyl-sulfonyl groups are suitable for all substrates tested whereas the corresponding carbamates are only useful in cases of tertiary and highly stabilised carbeniumions. Polyene-derived sulfonamides can also be cyclised to the corresponding polycyclic systems in remarkably high yields, in reactions reminiscent of related cascades encountered in terpene biosynthesis.
