Popis: In this article, we report a highly diastereoselective new method for the generation of quaternary carbon centers through an anionic oxy-Cope/alkylation sequence where the diastereoselectivity is induced by the conformation of a macrocyclic tetrasubstituted enolate. The use of our methodology culminated in the formal total synthesis of (-)-mesembrine (34) in 11 steps from known starting materials.
