A concise synthesis of (+)-muscarine

Abstract
(+)-Muscarine was synthesized from S-(−)-ethyl lactate in five steps with the application of a zinc-mediated allylation reaction in aqueous media. Reversal of chelation-control stereoselectivity was observed in the allylations of chiral α-alkoxy aldehydes in aqueous media.
