While this manuscript was in production, we became aware of Hong's independent investigations (reference [8d]) on the cyclizations of compounds 5a and 5b. The products 8a and 8b were suggested to be the thermodynamically more stable cis diastereomer. Very recently, (±)-8a was identified as a pungent constituent of black cardamom (reference [8d]). Independent analyses by NMR spectroscopy (Starkmann et al.) and X-ray crystallography (this work) confirm that amine-catalyzed cyclizations favor the trans diastereomer.

68. 1d was prepared by modification of J. V. Bhaskar Kanth, M. Periasamy, Tetrahedron 1993, 49, 5127. PhMgBr was substituted by a mixed Grignard reagent prepared from a 1:1 mixture of two aryl bromides. Along with N-protected 1a (major product), the precursor of 1d was obtained in 31% yield. Our rationale involves initial addition of PhMgBr and subsequent chelation controlled addition of the other ArMgBr species. (Chemical Equation Presented)
