The enantioselective total synthesis of madangamine E has been completed in 30 {steps|actions|measures|methods}, enabled by {a new|a brand new} catalytic and {highly|extremely|very|hugely} enantioselective desymmetrizing intramolecular Michael addition reaction of a prochiral ketone to a tethered 尾,尾鈥?disubstituted nitroolefin. This {key|important|crucial|essential} carbon鈥揷arbon bond forming reaction {efficiently|effectively} constructed a chiral bicyclic core in near-perfect enantio- and diastereo-selectivity, concurrently established {three|3} stereogenic centers, {including|such as|which includes|like} a quaternary carbon stereocenter, and proved {highly|extremely|very|hugely} scalable. {Furthermore|Moreover|In addition|Additionally}, the pathway and origins of enantioselectivity {in this|within this} catalytic cyclisation {were|had been|have been} probed {using|utilizing|making use of|employing|working with|applying} density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which revealed the {crucial|essential|vital|critical|important} substrate/catalyst interactions {in the|within the|inside the} enantio-determining step.
