Cyclocondensation of (R)-phenylglycinol with stereoisomeric mixtures (racemates, cis/trans) of 3-substituted 2-oxocyclohexaneacetates stereoselectively afforded tricyclic oxazoloindolone lactams, from which straightforward procedures for the stereocontrolled formation of enantiopure 7-substituted octahydroindoles with a variety of stereochemical patterns have been developed. The methodology has been successfully applied to the synthesis of (+)-α-lycorane.

Stereoconvergent cyclocondensation reactions of (R)- or (S)-phenylglycinol with appropriately substituted cyclohexanone-based δ-keto esters are the key steps of short synthetic routes to enantiopure 5-, 7-, and 5,7-substituted cis-decahydroquinolines. The factors governing the stereoselectivity of the cyclocondensation are discussed. The potential of the methodology is illustrated by a protecting-group-free synthesis of the phlegmarine-type Lycopodium alkaloid (-)-cermizine B.

Enantiopure alpha,beta-unsaturated delta-lactams 1 and 2 react stereoselectively with carbon-, nitrogen-, sulfur-, and oxygen-centered nucleophiles. The synthetic potential of these conjugate additions is demonstrated through the synthesis of two new substituted indolizidines: (7R)-7-amino-8-deoxyswainsonine 3 and (7R)-7-acetylaminoswainsonine 4.

Aryllithiums prepared by bromine-lithium interchange in chiral 2-(o-bromophenyl)-substituted perhydro-1,3-benzoxazines participate in the intramolecular 6-exo carbolithiation reaction with unactivated double bonds attached to the nitrogen substituent of the heterocycle. When the reaction time is extended or no TMEDA is used, the cyclized lithium intermediates react intramolecularly with the N,O-acetal system leading to 2-azabenzonorbornane derivatives. The reactions are highly stereoselective and constitute a high-yielding synthesis of enantiopure 4-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines or 7-substituted 2-azabenzonorbornanes.
