All the eight stereoisomers of (+)-preussin (1b), an antifungal agent inhibiting the growth of fission yeast and human cancer cells, were synthesized in two steps by non-stereoselective reactions and chromatographic separation, starting from L- and D-N-pr

Enantioselective total syntheses of the antifungal agent (+)-preussin (1) and its enantiomer (-)-1 from (S)-phenylalanine are described. The central transformations are protic acid-promoted aza-Cope rearrangement - Mannich cyclization reactions (12 → 19 and 13 → 27). Retro-Mannich fragmentation-Mannich cyclization (27 → 28) is key to the formation of (-)-1. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that enantioenriched substituted pyrrolidines can be prepared using the aza-Cope-Mannich rearrangement.
