The first enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-cycloclavine was accomplished in 8 steps and 7.1 % overall yield. Key features include the first catalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation of allene, mediated by the dirhodium catalyst Rh<sub>2</sub> (S-TBPTTL)<sub>4</sub> , and the enone 1,2-addition of a new TEMPO carbamate methyl carbanion. An intramolecular strain-promoted Diels-Alder methylenecyclopropane (IMDAMC) reaction provided a pivotal tricyclic enone intermediate with more than 99 % ee af ...[more]
