,4R)-2-exo-Cyano-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl (1S')-camphanate [(
+)-1, Diels-Alder adduct of furan to 1-cyanovinyl (1S)-camphanate] was
transformed with high stereoselectivity into 10-dioxa-5-azatricyclo[5
.2.1.0(2,6)]dec-4-en-9-one [(+)-10]. Bromination of the corresponding
(tert-butyl)dimethylsilyl enol ether [(-)-11], followed by Baeyer-Vill
iger oxidation and then alkaline methanolysis provided methyl o-2-O,3-
N-benzoyl-3-deoxy-alpha-L-talofuranuronate [(-)-17], the reduction of
which gave hydro-2-O,3-N-benzoyl-3-deoxy-alpha-L-talofuranose [(-)-19]
. Treatment with aqueous HCl furnished 3-amino-3-deoxy-L-talose hydroc
hloride [(-)-2].
