The syntheses of both enantiomers of aminocyclopentanetriol 1, a versatile
carbocyclic nucleoside precursor, is reported utilizing an amino acid-deriv
ed acylnitroso Diels-Alder cycloaddition. The sequence is practical and pro
ceeds in an overall yield of 36% from the D-alanine-derived hydroxamic acid
