ABSTRACT

(1aR,5aR,5bS,6S,7S)-6,7-Di-tert-butoxy-5-oxo-pyrrolidino[1,2-b]isoxazolidino[4,5-c]tetrahydropyran (8) prepared by (1,3)-dipolar cycloaddition of the cyclic nitrone 6 derived from tartaric acid to 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one (7) was transformed into indolizidine 11 via a sequence of reactions involving methanolysis of the lactone ring, intramolecular alkylation of the nitrogen atom promoted by a carbontetrabromide-triphenylphosphine mixture and hydrogenolysis of the N single bond O bond. Decarboxylation of 11 provided known 7-hydroxylentiginosine derivative 14, whereas oxidative decarboxylation gave indolizidine 15 structurally related to castanospermine.
