The synthesis of (-)-desoxoprosopinine and (+)-pseudoconhydrine were achieved from a common oxazolidine precursor. The three stereocenters present in (-)-desoxoprosopinine as well as the two stereocenters of (+)- pseudoconhydrine were created in highly stereoselective ways. The stereoselectivity observed during the reduction of the ketone moiety in the starting oxazolidine was dependent on the occurrence of a chelated intermediate. The others stereocenters arose from stereoselective reductions or alkylations of intermediate iminium ions.
Total synthesis of (-)-desoxoprosopinine via the diastereoselective reduction of homochiral2-acyl-N-Boc-oxazolidines

(-)-Desoxoprosopinine was synthesised from (R)-phenylglycinol as the chiral source. The three distinct steps used for the construction of the three stereogenic centers of the target were all highly diastereoselective. These steps include a reduction of a homochiral N-Boc-2-acyl oxazolidine and the stereoselectivity of this reaction can be explained by a non chelated model. An original N-debenzylation of the phenyl glycinol appendage was devised in this synthesis.
