β¦ Synopsis
Condensation of 2-acetyl benzoic acid with L-cysteine esters proceeds with extremely high diastereoselectivity to produce the desired thiazolo[2,3-a]isoindolin-1-one products in good yield. The relative stereochemistry of the major diastereoisomer has been determined by X-ray crystallography. Stereoselective enolate alkylation of this substrate has been investigated as a method to manipulate the ring skeleton, and was found to proceed with up to exclusive levels of stereoselectivity.

## Abstract We present a facile and highly stereoselective approach to the indolo[2,3β__a__]quinolizine ring system from a readily available, nonβracemic chiral template. We demonstrate the potential for application of this methodology to natural product synthesis through conversion of the template
