Diastereoselective hetero Diels-Alder reactions of sugar derived azome
thines 4a-4g have been used for the construction of chiral piperidones
6 and 7. Configuration of the major products was 6,1'-threo in every
case. The enone system of 6 and 7 was reduced diastereoselectively and
subsequently swainsonine-analog hydroxyindolizidines 28-32 were prepa
red by an intramolecular reductive amination.
