In our current studies of the total non-racemic synthesis of Lyngbyatoxin A and analogs, we are investigating the copper catalyzed asymmetric addition of organozinc reagents to α, β-unsaturated lactams to generate the quaternary stereocenter present in Lyngbyatoxin A. Results of this investigation will be presented.
