Abstract
The stereochemical course of reductions of iminium ions with sodium cy anoborohydrite and sodium triacetoxyborohydride was examined within th e context of model studies directed toward the synthesis of the quinol izidine alkaloid clavepictine A. Conformational preferences of the imi nium ion and and effective size of me reducing agent were shown play a role in determining reduction stereochemistry.
