Catalytic Asymmetric Total Synthesis of (−)-Garryine via an Enantioselective Heck Reaction

-diterpenoid alkaloid (-)-garryine is presented. Key steps include a Pd-catalyzed enantioselective Heck reaction, a radical cyclization, and a photoinduced C-H activation/oxazolidine formation sequence. Of note, a highly enantioselective Heck reaction developed in this work provides efficient access to 6/6/6 tricyclic compounds, in particular, containing a C19-functionalitiy, which is useful for diverse transformations.
