Total synthesis of enantiopure (+)-gamma-lycorane using highly efficient Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation.
[reaction: see text] A highly efficient short total synthesis of (+)-gamma-lycorane (>99% ee, 41% overall yield) was achieved by using the asymmetric allylic alkylation in the key step catalyzed by palladium complexes with novel chiral biphenol-based monodentate phosphoramidite ligands.
