Febrifugine (1), a quinazoline alkaloid, isolated from Dichroa febrifuga roots, shows powerful antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum. The use of 1 as an antimalarial drug has been precluded because of side effects, such as diarrhea, vomiting

Starting from aspartic acid an efficient synthesis of enantiomerically pure β-proline and homo-β-proline is described. The key step of the synthesis includes formation of the 1,4-biselectrophile 6, followed by rearrangement via the aziridinium intermediate 7 and ring closure to give the pyrrolidinium salt 9a which can serve as a common precursor for both target compounds.
