Abstract

A novel and efficient synthesis of (-)-8-epi-swainsonine 2 is reported. Face selective diol formation from the bicyclic alkene 3 followed by a stereoselective vinylation of the aldehyde and ring closing metathesis gave the indolizidine ring system which was converted into (-)-8-epi-swainsonine
