A highly enantioselective and stereocontrolled approach to d-, l- and 8-epi-d-swainsonine has been developed from achiral furan and γ-butyrolactone. A one-pot hydrogenolysis of both azide and benzyl ether followed by an intramolecular reductive amination has been employed as key step to establish the indolizidine ring system. The absolute stereochemistry was installed by the Noyori reduction and the relative stereochemistry by the use of several highly diastereoselective palladium catalyzed glyc ...[more]
