Abstract
A double conjugate addition between the lithium dianion of ethyl 3-nitropropionate and p-benzoquinone dimethyl ketal afforded a mixture of diastereomeric [3.2.1]bicylooctanones. These products were converted into an advanced intermediate previously carried forward to (+/-)-gelsemine by Fukuyama and Liu.
