A highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of α-substituted α,β-unsaturated acyclic ketones catalyzed by chiral spiro iridium complexes for the preparation of chiral 2-substituted allylic alcohols has been developed (ee up to 99.7%). This method provides a concise route to (-)-mesembrine (34% yield, 12 steps).

A regio- and stereoselective rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of trisubstituted allylic alcohols is described. The utility of these synthons is demonstrated in a convenient synthesis of indenes and quinolines.
