A novel and efficient synthesis of shikonin was accomplished with excellent enantiomeric excess (99.3% ee) and high overall yield (47%) in only six steps. The synthetic strategy involved an efficient Ru(II)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation employing C-2-symmetric planar chiral ruthenocene phosphinooxazoline ligand (L-3), followed by the subsequent removal of the methyl protecting groups. Meanwhile, it could be preliminarily confirmed that the chiral side chain of shikonin was difficult to be constructed in one step with both stereoselectivity and alpha-regioselectivity.
