Abstract
Lost symmetry: Fused bicyclic ureas are enantioselectively obtained through Pd‐catalyzed desymmetrizing carboaminations of meso‐2,5‐diallylpyrrolidinyl ureas (see scheme). The reactions generate a CN and a CC bond, and afford products with three stereocenters. One of these products was transformed to a tricyclic guanidine and then to 9‐epi‐batzelladine K over several steps.
