    Publication: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

    Abstract

    The enantiomers of the naturally occurring alkaloid dihydropinidine 1, potential antifeedants against the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis, were prepared by diastereoselective, dimethylzinc mediated addition of pinacolyl 2-propenylboronate 14 to nitrones (R)- and (S)2-methyl tetrahydropyridine-N-oxide 3, prepared from D- and L-alanine, respectively.
