Abstract

The study towards the synthesis of the naturally occurring (-)-pumiliotoxin C of the
dendrobatid alkaloid has been outlined. The bicyclic skeleton of the pumiliotoxin C was be
rapidly assembled in one key reaction step using a novel regio- and enantiocontrolled
asymmetric [4+2] cycloaddition of TpMo(CO)2(3-alkenyl-η3-4,5,6-pyridinyl) diene 39. Diene 39
was formed from the TpMo(CO)2(η3-5-oxo-pyridinyl) scaffold 27 via a Grignard reaction and
dehydration reaction. This was later followed by sequential protonation-nucleophilic addition as
key reaction step for the introduction of the alkyl side chain.
