title: Regiospecific and stereoselective syntheses of (+/-)-reserpine and (-)-reserpine.
abstract: Full details of three approaches to an entirely regio- and stereoselective synthesis of the well-known target reserpine are described, culminating in a total synthesis which efficiently meets these requirements.
