title: Short and efficient asymmetric synthesis of (-)-alpha-conhydrine.
abstract: The short and efficient synthesis of (-)-alpha-conhydrine was accomplished with 41% overall yield in seven steps and high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The anti-stereochemistry of the two stereogenic centers has been confirmed by the single-crystal X-ray analysis of an intermediate.
