T. Subramanian et al., Synthesis of oxazolidinyl azacycles via ring-closing olefin metathesis: a practical entry to the synthesis of deoxy-azasugars and hydroxypyrrolizidines, TETRAHEDR L, 42(24), 2001, pp. 4079-4082
Starting with D- and L-serines, an expedient method for the preparation of
oxazolidinyl piperidines, azepenes and azacyclooctenes was illustrated as a
route to various deoxy-azasugars and hydroxypyrrolizidines. The ring-closi
ng olefin metathesis of oxazolidinyl di-olefins was used as a key-step to c
onstruct the azacycles. Consecutive epoxidation, hydrolysis and transannula
tion of oxazolidinyl azacyclooctene led to hydroxypyrrolizidines. (C) 2001
