Abstract

Forming the tetrasubstituted piperidine ring with stereocontrol in a Michael-type conjugate addition is a key step in the first enantioselective synthesis of the antipode 1 of alkaloid 205 B. The absolute stereochemistry of the natural product could be determined unambiguously by comparison of the optical rotations.
