Abstract

This report investigates the fundamental basis for rather surprising patterns of reactivity in Brønsted acid-mediated cyclizations of pyrrole substrates bearing pendant Michael acceptors that were identified during syntheses of Stemona alkaloids. Integrated experimental and theoretical studies reveal the profound influence that substituent effects have on the viability of these transformations. Additionally, we identify that electronic effects, in addition to barrier-lowering secondary orbital interactions within transition states, account for the exclusive preference for 7-endo-trig cyclizations over 6-exo-trig cyclizations.
