H. Takahata et al., NEW SYNTHESIS OF ALL THE 4 STEREOISOMERS OF INDOLIZIDINE-209D AND THEIR AFFINITY FOR NICOTINIC ACETYLCHOLINE-RECEPTOR, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 9(18), 1998, pp. 3289-3301
Both enantiomers of a 2-(4-pentenyl)pyrrolidine derivative 4 (65-90% e
e), prepared via the asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of terminal olefi
n 2, underwent a second AD to provide all of the four stereoisomers of
indolizidine 209D 1 with enantiomeric enhancement (92-98% ee). The af
finity of 1 for nicotinic acetylcholine receptor was evaluated. (C) 19
