Enantioselective Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylations of prochiral enolates represent a powerful tool for the construction of all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. This review describes the emergence of such reactions as strategic linchpins that enable efficient, stereocontrolled syntheses of Aspidosperma and related monoterpene indole alkaloids.
