Abstract
A highly stereoselective asymmetric synthesis of (--)-sedamine and (--)-lobeline is described from benzaldehyde in 16 and 17 steps with an overall yield of 20% and 14%, respectively. The key intermediate syn-3,4-epoxyalcohol was prepared in a highly diastereomeric fashion (>99% ee, dr) and served as a common intermediate for both alkaloids.Entities:
