Enantioselective Palladium‐Catalyzed Heck–Heck Cascade Reactions: Ready Access to the Tetracyclic Core of Lycorane Alkaloids

A rapid and efficient access to a wide variety of enantiomerically enriched C‐11b substituted lycorane analogues can be achieved via a catalytic asymmetric Heck–Heck 6‐exo/6‐endo cascade reaction in the presence of (R)‐BINAP. magnified image
