Enantiospecific total synthesis of (-)-polyoxamic acid using 2,3-aziridino-gamma-lactone methodology

J Org Chem. 2003 Nov 28;68(24):9521-4. doi: 10.1021/jo035039b.

Abstract

The non-natural enantiomer of polyoxamic acid was synthesized in six steps from 2,3-aziridino-gamma-lactone 7 with an overall yield of 10%. The key step of the strategy is a deprotection-protection sequence on the nitrogen atom of the aziridine ring required for aziridine activation toward nucleophilic ring opening.
