An efficient synthesis of the 2,3-disubstituted piperidines (+)-L-733,060 and (2S,3S)-3-hydroxypipecolic acid (99\% ee) in high optical purity from commercially available starting materials is described. The strategy involves a cobalt-catalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a racemic azido epoxide with two stereocenters and an intramolecular reductive cyclization as key reactions.

Starting from (+/-)-3-acetoxyglutarimide, diastereoselective formal synthesis of indole alkaloids (+/-)-eburnamonine, (+/-)-eburnaminol, and (+/-)-vindeburnol have been demonstrated via a common intermediate (+/-)-1-hydroxy-12-tosyl-2,3,6,7,12,12b-hexahydroindolo[2,3a] quinolizin-4(1H)-one in very good overall yields. The acetoxy group from (+/-)-3-acetoxyglutarimide was first used to induce the diastereoselectivity and also as a latent source of ketone carbonyl group. The stereoselective eliminations, reductions, and intramolecular cyclizations were the involved key steps.
