1) The isomerization of (-)-beta-pinene (I) with potassium 3-aminopropylamide (KAPA) gives (-)-alpha-pinene (II), which is dihydroxylated with OsO4, trimethylamine oxide and NaHSO3 in tert-butanol/pyridine/water yielding (1R,2R,3S,5R)-(-)-pinanediol (III) that is used as chiral director. The trans-esterification of (III) with 4-bromobutylboronic acid dimethyl ester (IV) [obtained by treatment of 4-bromo-1-butene (V) with BCl3, methanol and triethylsilane] affords the pinane boronic ester (VI), which is treated with dichloromethane and butyllithium in THF forming the intermediate lithium salt (VII). This salt, without isolation, is treated with anhydrous ZnCl2 to give 5-bromo-1(S)-chloropentylboronic acid pinanediol ester (VIII), which is then treated with methylmagnesium bromide in THF affording 5-bromo-1(S)-methylpentylboronic acid pinanediol ester (IX). The reaction of (IX) with 3,7-dimethylxanthine (X) by means of NaH in DMSO gives the corresponding condensation product (XI), which is finally treated with KOH and H2O2 in THF/water to eliminate the boronic group yielding the desired lisofylline.
