A one-pot, enantioselective strategy for the dearomatization-annulation of aromatic diesters to give a range of highly functionalized polycyclic molecules with excellent enantioselectivity is presented. This methodology is based on the reaction of bisenolates, prepared by treating aromatic diesters with trialkyltin lithium reagents, which involves a stanna-Brook rearrangement, with 1,ω-dihaloalkanes and other biselectrophiles. We have also developed experimental conditions for performing these reactions with substoichiometric amounts of the required tin reagent by in situ recycling of Me 6Sn2 into Me3SnLi with excess lithium metal, and provide a study of the scope and limitations of this synthetic methodology. The alkylation of chiral bisenolates opens a straightforward one-pot access to highly functionalized bicyclic compounds from aromatic diesters. A stanna-Brook rearrangement originates the key bisenolate intermediate. Copyright
