A diastereoconvergent approach to (-)-paroxetine from diastereomeric 3,4-epoxy-2-piperidones is reported. For this synthesis, a regioselective and stereodivergent Cu-I-catalyzed epoxide-ring-opening reaction of epoxyamide precursors to give the 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-piperidone skeleton with the correct absolute configuration is crucial. Using CuBrSMe2 as a catalyst, the epoxide-ring-opening reaction takes place with inversion of configuration; the configuration is retained when CuI is used.
