A concise asymmetric synthesis of the potent dopamine D1 antagonist, ecopipam, has been accomplished in six steps with 33% overall yield via catalytic enantioselective aziridination and subsequent one-pot Friedel–Crafts cyclization of an in situ generated tethered aziridine with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
