Abstract
A convenient and efficient method has been used for the synthesis of ten new tetrahydroxylated pyrrolizidines 12a,b, 13a-c, 14a,b, and 15a-c starting from sugar-derived cyclic nitrones prepared from d-xylose, d-arabinose, d-ribose, and l-arabinose, through a five-step reaction sequence. Pyrrolizidine 12a is an enantiomer of 7-deoxycasuarine and pyrrolizidine 12b an enantiomer of the as yet unknown 7-deoxyuniflorine A. This method expands the scope of nitrone cycloadditions and is flexible enough for the synthesis of various stereoisomers of highly polyhydroxylated pyrrolizidines.
