A concise approach to the core skeleton of the welwitindolinone alkaloids was developed on the basis of sequential cycloaddition reactions. First, a palladium catalyzed enantioselective [6 + 3] trimethylenemethane cycloaddition onto a tropone nucleus was used to generate the requisite

The first metal-catalyzed [6 + 3] cycloaddition of tropone with azomethine ylides has been developed. With the use of a chiral ferrocenylphosphine-copper(I) complex as the catalyst, the asymmetric variant of the [6 + 3] cycloaddition has also been successfully achieved.
