A highly efficient asymmetric synthesis of vernakalant.

A novel synthesis of vernakalant is described. Using inexpensive and readily available reagents, the key transformations involve (1) an efficient zinc-amine-promoted etherification, (2) a highly stereoselective enzyme-catalyzed dynamic asymmetric transamination to set up the two contiguous chiral centers in the cyclohexane ring, and (3) a pyrrolidine ring formation via alkyl-B(OH)2-catalyzed amidation and subsequent imide reduction.
