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.
