Abstract

Four enantiopure cytisine-inspired scaffolds can be accessed via a versatile pyrrolidine template derived from a stereocontrolled [3+2] azomethine ylide–alkene cycloaddition. Differential ester protection allows for the selective formation of either a bridged bicyclic or tricyclic scaffold via pyridone cyclization. Solid-phase diversification of the pyridone scaffolds yielded a diverse library of 15,000 compounds enabling the discovery of a novel class of Bcl-2 inhibitors.
