title: A diastereocontrolled synthesis of (+)-febrifugine: a potent antimalarial piperidine alkaloid.
abstract: A diastereocontrolled synthesis of (+)-febrifugine, a potent antimalarial piperidine alkaloid, has been achieved using a chiral block having a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane framework which exhibits inherent convex-face selectivity.
