Abstract

Abstract Both enantiomers of the hemlock alkaloid coniine 8 are prepared by asymmetric synthesis in 98% ee using only one enantiomer of the auxiliary. The key step of the synthesis consists in the 1,2‐addition of organoytterbium reagents to aldehyde SAMP hydrazones with virtually complete asymmetric induction, followed by N–N bond cleavage and cyclization.
