The products of the oxidative dearomatising diamination are richly-functionalised small scaffolds, and we show some illustrative functional group transformations on these products in Scheme 2. Reduction of the alkene function of the enone may be achieved either by conjugate reduction with triethylsilane and Wilkinson's catalyst (to give 7), or by hydrogenation with Pd(OH) 2 /C (to give 8 or 9). Reduction of the resulting ketones could be achieved with LiAlH 4 but was found to be more diastereoselective using NaBH 4 and CeCl 3 at low temperature (e.g. d.r. of 93:7 vs 100:0 for formation of 10). Stereoselective installation of an amine group was effected by sequential one-pot imine formation/reduction to give 13. Highly stereoselective reduction of enone 2c to an allylic alcohol can be achieved under Luche conditions to give 14. Finally, cleavage of the N-tosyl urea can be achieved by treatment of the saturated ketone 8 with sodium methoxide, giving spirobicyclic product 15.
