摘要
A novel strategy was developed for a rapid access to the naturally occurring racemic neoclausenamide and its analogs, which featured a highly erythro-selective vinylogous Mukaiyama type reaction （dr= 12：1） and a highly diastereoselective tandem conjugate addition-Davis oxidation ofN-Boc-pyrrol-2（5H）-one 5 （dr= 10：1）. Remarka- bly, the skeleton of neoclausenamide, namely 8n, an analog of neoclausenamide, was built in just two steps with all the four stereogenic centers （relative stereochemistry） established correctly and in excellent diastereoselectivities.
