()-isonitramine, ()-sibirine, and (+)-nitramine are accomplished in 42, 38, and 25?\% overall yield, respectively, in six steps starting from enantiomerically pure (S)-methyl 3-allyl-2-oxo-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylate (\&gt;99?\%?ee). The key feature of the syntheses involves diastereoselective HosomiSakurai allylation followed by ring-closing metathesis.</p>},
