Asymmetric synthesis of dimethyl swazinecate and structural confirmation of its parent alkaloid (–)-swazine

Abstract

Synthesis of dimethyl swazinecate, a principal component of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid swazine, was completed from (S)-(–)-β-citronellal; an X-ray crystallographic analysis of natural swazine confirmed its absolute stereostructure.
