A first stereodivergent strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of all stereoisomers of 1-hydroxymethylpyrrolizidine alkaloids is developed using an asymmetric self-Mannich reaction as a key step. An anti-selective self-Mannich reaction of methyl 4-oxobutanoate with the PMP-amine catalyzed by a chiral secondary amine is successfully optimized for the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-isoretronecanol and (-)-isoretronecanol. A syn-selective self-Mannich reaction catalyzed by proline is utilized for the asymmetric synthesis of the diastereomer, (+)-laburnine, and its enantiomer, (-)-trachelanthamidine.
