Asymmetric syntheses of (-)-aphanorphine and (-)-eptazocine

Formal asymmetric syntheses of (-)-aphanorphine and (-)-eptazocine were done, utilizing asymmetric nitroolefination reaction of α-methyl-δ-valerolactone and a new aromatization of Diels-Alder adducts of chiral nitroolefins with the Danishefsky's diene.
