Philipp Heretsch et al.
Organic letters, 11(23), 5410-5412 (2009-11-04)
All four diastereomers of the trisubstituted piperidine-alkaloids of the veratramine and jervine type were synthesized with complete stereocontrol starting from enantiopure citronellic acids. The flexible, high-yielding, and scalable route described here will facilitate convergent syntheses and give access to analogues
