A simple enantioselective synthesis of (+)epi-elenoic acid is reported and its transformation into (+)-elenoic acid is described.Well-established procedures transform these compounds into the antipodes of tetrahydroalstonine, aricine, and reserpinine.
ENANTIOSELECTIVE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF (+)-TETRAHYDROALSTONINE, (+)-ACRICINE, AND (+)-RESERPININE

, p. 2705 - 2706 (2007/10/02)
Starting from (-)β-ketoester 1a the preparation of (+)-elenoic acid 4a and (+)-isoelenoic acid 5a is described.Standard operations transform 5a into (+)-tetrahydroalstonine 7a, (+)-acricine 7b, and (+)-reserpinine 7c.
