Enantioselective organocatalytic ammonium enolate mediated transformations and studies towards the total synthesis of (-)-galanthamine
(1) An enantioselective organocatalytic ammonium enolate mediated intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction has been developed. Studies towards an asymmetric intramolecular epoxidation reaction as well as an organocatalytic cycloisomerisation reaction have also been undertaken. These processes are ca...
