Abstract

An enantioselective total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid lycoposerramine R is presented. It relies on a base-mediated cyclization that resembles the Conia-ene reaction of ynones and gold-catalyzed variants thereof. Thus, hydrindanones and other functionalized ring systems bearing an exocyclic alkene can be rapidly accessed at room temperature without noble metal catalysis or substrate preactivation.
