Jd. White et al., ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF DIMETHYL SWAZINECATE AND STRUCTURAL CONFIRMATION OF ITS PARENT ALKALOID (-)-SWAZINE, Chemical communications, (5), 1998, pp. 603-604
Synthesis of dimethyl swazinecate, a principal component of the pyrrol
izidine alkaloid swazine, was completed from (S)-(-)-beta-citronellal;
an X-ray crystallographic analysis of natural swazine confirmed its a
bsolute stereostructure.
