A synthetic technique for generating carbocyclic quaternary stereocenters with exceptionally high levels of enantioselectivity is described. A sequence of three reactions, enantioselective Birch reduction - allylation, enol ether hydrolysis, and Cope rearrangement, is used to stereoselectively generate chiral quaternary centers on a 2-cyclohexen-1-one ring. The products of the sequence are 4,4-disubstituted-2-carboxamide- 2-cyclohexen-1-one structures which are versatile intermediates in complex natural product synthesis. An application of the sequence to the synthesis of (+)-mesembrine illustrates the utility of these intermediates.
