The synthesis of C-4-alkylated pyrrolidin-3-one 5 was achieved by regio- and diastereoselective alkylation of chiral hydrazone 8 with electrophile 7 followed by selective deprotection. Highly functionalised compound 5 is the first key intermediate in our approach towards a new asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-quinocarcin (1) and related structural analogues 2 and 3.
