An asymmetric allylmetalation followed by a silicon-stereodirected cycloaddition gives enantiomerically pure bicyclic compounds. The synthesis of enantiopure 1 (see scheme) in a yield of 65-74 %, 93 % ee, and >98 % de provides an illustration of the efficacy of the method. The preferential formation of 1 rather than its diastereoisomer (32:1), during the cycloaddition step, matches the result predicted by RHF and density functional theory studies.
