title: α-Isocupreine, an enantiocomplementary catalyst of β-isocupreidine.
abstract: Complementary chemistry! α-Isocupreine (-ICPN) was synthesized for the first time in one step from quinine by treatment with CF3SO3H (see scheme). This compound serves as an enantiocomplementary catalyst to β-isocupreidine (β-ICD) in the Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction.
