At elevated temperature (refluxing THF) prenyl anion adds regio- and enantioselectively to aldehyde 1 when a chiral, borneol-derived ligand is present. This reaction is the key stepin the first total synthesis of the monoterpene (-)-rosiridol (retrosynthesis is shown on the right). In addition, the

Application of the 2-Azaallyl Anion Cycloaddition Method to an Enantioselective Total Synthesis of (+)-Coccinine. -The nonnatural enantiomer (XI) of the alkaloid (-)-coccinine is enantioselectively synthesized with cycloaddition of (VII) to (VIII) as the key step. -(PEARSON, W. H.;
A highly functionalized perhydroindole is formed by the intramolecular [ฯ4s+ฯ2s] cycloaddition of a 2-azaallyl anion with a vinyl sulfide [Eq. (a)]. This is the key step in the total synthesis of (+)-coccinine, the enantiomer of the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid (-)-coccinine.
