Abstract
The pseudoenantiomeric title compounds have been prepared from quincorine (QCI) and quincoridine (QCD), respectively, in enantiopure form following an efficient six-step pathway. Nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl group proceeds preferentially from the supposedly more hindered endo pi-face, giving quinuclidinols with natural configuration at C5 (up to 97%). pi-Face selectivity is highest in the QCD series with bulky O-protecting groups, involving an unprecedented 1,7-stereoinduction.
