Addition of Grignard reagents and a decarboxylative Mannich­ reaction with β-keto acids involving these chiral imines proceeded with high diastereoselectivity. The synthesis of the pyrrolidinic alkaloids (–)-bgugaine, (+)-villatamine B, (–)-norhygrine, trans-dendrochrysanine, and (–)-ruspolinone demonstrated the utility of this methodology.
