Abstract

Using O-pivaloyl protected D-galactopyranosylamine and D-arabinopyranosylamine, (S) or (R) configured α-substituted homoallylamines are synthesized with high diastereoselectivity by reaction of the corresponding aldimines with allyltributylstannane. Electrophile-induced endo-trig-cyclization of these N-glycosylhomoallylamines gave the 2-substituted pyrrolidines of high diastereomeric purity.
