Abstract
In this review we describe the asymmetrization of readily available Cs-symmetric compounds by enzyme-catalyzed reactions to provide chiral building blocks for the effective enantioselective synthesis of certain indole and quinolizidine alkaloids. By the asymmetrization of 1,2-disubstituted cyclo cyclohex-4-enes a series of class I alkaloids, such as (-)-antirhine, (-)-akagerine, and (posative)-meroquinene, have been synthesized from the relevant chiral precursors. By employing the same chemo-enzymatic approach, asymmetrization of Cs-symmetric 3,5-disubstituted piperidines provides access to 15,20-dihydrocleavamine and its analogues, as well as to (posative)-tacamonine. The synthetic design and details of the various syntheses are presented. In addition, the scope and prospects of the symmetrization-asymmetrization strategy are discussed with special reference to the quinolizidine alkaloids.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
