Abstract

Stereoselective total synthesis of unnatural (+)-anisomycin from d-glucose has been achieved with an overall yield of 23%. The key synthetic features are regioselective opening of an epoxide, azidation of the resulting alcohol, and finally one-pot hydrogenation leading to cyclization to the pyrrolidine ring in a single step.
