Abstract

This article describes a number of catalytic methods for enantioselectively desymmetrizing prochiral dienone systems. The core structures obtained using these methodologies appear in several bioactive natural products, and the processes appear to be effective tools for producing key intermediates in the synthesis of complex structures.

1 Introduction
