Abstract

Incorporation of the chiral center of (R)-4-methyl-5-hexenyl tosylate gives the title compound. The synthesis establishes the absolute configuration of the natural product. The title compound is also obtained from (Z)-1,2-dehydromuscopyridine by asymmetric reduction with chiral alkylboranes.
