Abstract
A concise synthesis of (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine was accomplished in eight steps, starting from commercially available materials. This synthesis features a cerium chloride-enhanced Stork–Danheiser reaction, an asymmetric reduction of ketone by the Corey–Bakshi–Shibata reaction, a signature Overman rearrangement, and a facial selective dihydroxylation of an electronically deficient olefin by RuCl3/NaIO4. The overall yield is 7.3% with 94.5% ee.
