Catalytic asymmetrization of meso-3,7-bis-tert-butyldimethylsiloxycycloheptene occurs in the presence of a chiral rhodium(I) binap catalyst to give optically active 4-tert-butyldimethylsiloxycycloheptanone in 70% ee after hydrolytic workup, the (R)-enantiomer of which has been transformed into (-)â(S)-physoperuvine, the major alkaloid of Physalis peruviana.
