Activation of allylic esters in an intramolecular vinylogous kinetic resolution reaction with synergistic magnesium catalysts

Kinetic resolution allows to obtain enantioenriched compounds from racemic mixtures. Here, the authors report a synergistic magnesium catalyst promoting kinetic resolution of an intramolecular vinylogous Michael reaction to access [6.6.5]-tricyclic chiral skeletons.
