Enantioselective syntheses of the alkaloids (-)-aurantioclavine, (+)-amurensinine, (-)-lobeline, and (-)- and (+)-sedamine are described. The syntheses demonstrate the effectiveness of the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of secondary alcohols in diverse contexts and the ability of this methodology to set the absoluteconfiguration of multiple stereocenters in a single operation. The utility of an
A general catalytic enantioselective method that can produce five-, six-, and seven-membered N-heterocycles possessing various ketone moieties starting from stable and easily available cyclic hemiaminals and ketones was developed. The method involves three successive steps in one pot (aldol addition, dehydration, and enantioselective intramolecular aza-Michael reaction), all of which are promoted by
