A route has been developed for the synthesis of enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure trihydroxylated pyrrolizidines. A chiral sugar derived nitrone undergoes diastereoselective dipolar cycloaddition with methyl acrylate to afford erythro-cis isoxazolidine; a suitable cycloadduct undergoes N-O cleavage and recyclization to (1S,2R,6R,7aS)-trihydroxylated pyrrolizidine.
