title: Intramolecular palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation: enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of [2.2.2] bicycles.
abstract: Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation provides both enantio- and diastereoselectivity in formation of bicyclo [2.2.2] octan-2,3-diones and quinuclidin-2-ones, the latter potential precursors to quinine alkaloids. [reaction: see text]
