title: Alkaloid synthesis using chiral delta-amino beta-ketoesters: a stereoselective synthesis of (-)-lasubine II.
abstract: [reaction: see text]A highly stereoselective asymmetric synthesis of the quinolizidinealkaloid (-)-lasubine II from a delta-amino beta-hydroxy ketone, a new polyfunctionalized chiral building block, is described.
