The asymmetric construction of perhydropyrrolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives w
as performed by chemo- and regioselective formation of enantiopure alkylide
necyclopropane nitrones, followed by diastereoselective intramolecular 1,3-
dipolar cycloaddition. The resulting spirocyclopropane isoxazolidines then
underwent thermally induced regioselective ring expansion into optically ac
tive diazaheterocycles. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
