22. Aza-Cope-Mannich product 22a was elaborated to a tricyclic pyrrolidinium salt by cleavage of the TBDPS group and intramolecular quaternization by the sequence illustrated in Schemes 4 and 5; see Supporting Information for details. Single crystal X-ray analysis of this derivative confirmed the relative and absolute configuration of 22a. Crystallographic data for this compound were deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre: CCDC 751136.
