Hs. Overkleeft et al., RING-CLOSING METATHESIS MEDIATED SYNTHESIS OF PYRROLIZIDINE AND QUINOLIZIDINE AZASUGARS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(22), 1998, pp. 3869-3872
The synthesis of a novel perbenzylated pyrrolizidine starting from 2,3
,5-tri-O-benzyl-arabinofuranose and based on a ring-closing metathesis
(RCM) reaction is presented. In an analogous procedure, 2,3,5-tri-O-b
enzylxylopyranose was converted into a hitherto unprecedented quinoliz
idine azasugar. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
