All four diastereomers of the trisubstituted piperidine-alkaloids of the veratramine and jervine type were synthesized with complete stereocontrol starting from enantiopure citronellic acids. The flexible, high-yielding, and scalable route described here will facilitate convergent syntheses and give access to analogues
