A new and improved procedure for the preparation of (R)-2-alkoxycarbonyl-1-formyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolines has been developed beginning from D-(−)-tartaric acid. The utility of these aldehydes in the asymmetric synthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids of high enantiomeric purity has been extended to the synthesis of phenylethylisoquinolines, which have been further transformed in straightforward steps into the homoprotoberberine and homoaporphine ring systems. In this manner, (S)-homolaudanosine, (S)-5′-methoxyhomolaudanosine, (S)-2,3,9,10,11-pentamethoxyhomoprotoberberine, and (S)-O-methylkreysigine have been synthesized. The conversion of (S)-laudanosine to (S)-glaucine, an aporphine alkaloid, has also been realized.

Enantioselective synthesis of cyclobutane derivatives is still a challenging topic in asymmetric synthesis. [2+2]-Cycloaddition and skeleton rearrangement are two primary strategies to this end. Recently, functionalization of cyclobutanones and cyclobutenones, which are readily available via [2+2]-cycloadditions as prochiral substrates, has emerged as a powerful tool to access versatile four-membered ring compounds. Herein, we summarize some recent advances in these areas from our and other groups.
