Abstract

The intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of unsaturated nitrones derived from methyl a-d-glucopyranoside with 2-furaldehyde has been studied. This cycloaddition was found to afford three 9-oxa-1-azabicyclo[4.2.1] nonane diastereomers in a 3:1:1 ratio [with the principal isomer possessing a (3S,4R,5S,6S,8S) configuration, determined by NMR spectroscopy]. The effects of different Lewis acid catalysts (MgCl2, ZnCl2 and BF 3·OEt2) on yields and diastereomeric ratios have been examined in detail. The best result (90% yield) was achieved when MgCl 2 was present (in toluene, 120°C bath temperature, 12 h). The stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition was not significantly altered under the conditions investigated. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
