A new organocatalytic desymmetrization reaction enables the enantioselective total synthesis of madangamine E

The enantioselective total synthesis of madangamine E has been completed in 30 steps, enabled by a new catalytic and highly enantioselective desymmetrizing intramolecular Michael addition reaction of a prochiral ketone to a tethered β,β′-disubstituted nitroolefin. This key carbon–carbon bond forming...
