We demonstrate that α-aryl cyclic vinylogous esters are competent substrates in the direct intermolecular Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation, enabling a straightforward enantioselective synthesis of 6-allyl-6-aryl-3-ethoxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones, common motifs embedded in numerous structurally diverse natural products. As an initial demonstration of the utility of this protocol, the first catalytic enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-oxomaritidine and an improved five-step catalytic enantioselective synthesis of (?)-mesembrine have been completed divergently.

Thermolysis of the aziridine ester, obtained from (S)-O-benzylglycidol, afforded the pyrrolidine lactone bearing a quaternary carbon center stereo-specifically in a good yield via intramolecular cycloaddition of the 1,3-dipole.The adduct (11) could be converted into natural (-)-mesembrine, the major alkaloid of Sceletium namaquense, and its N-demethyl derivative via a 8 step sequence of reactions.
