A new diastereocontrolled route to three alkaloids having a quaternary benzylic stereogenic center, (-)-physostigmine, (-)-physovenine, and (-)-aphanorphine, has been developed using enantiopure 7,7-dimethyl-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-en-2-one as a synthetic equivalent of chiral cyclopentadienone.
