Abstract: The highly stereoselective Grignard addition on chiralimine 8 and opening of chiral epoxide 9 with Grignard reagent have been used as key steps in the stereoselective synthesis of cytotoxic anhydrophytosphingosine pachastrissamine (jaspine B) and N,O,O,O-tetra-acetyl d-lyxo-phytosphingosine.

Abstract: A common and stereoselective strategy for the synthesis of N,O,O,O-tetra-acetyl d-ribo-(2S,3S,4R)-phytosphingosine and 2-epi-jaspine B was achieved by using Grignard addition on N-benzyl sugar lactamine and Wittig olefination as key steps. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: An efficient and highly stereoselective approach to bicyclic aza sugars is described using Grignard reaction on an N-benzyl imine derived from 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidine-α-d-xylo-pentodialdofuranose, ring closing metathesis, and reductive cyclization as key steps.

Abstract: A Chiron approach for the synthesis of (+)-secosyrin 1 from d-mannitol has been described. The key steps are a stereoselective Wittig reaction and an intramolecular Michael addition on the disubstituted butenolide, leading to a highly stereoselective formation of the tertiary chiral centre of (+)-secosyrin 1.

A stereoselective synthesis of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-d-allitol 1 and formal synthesis of (2S,3R,4S)-3,4-dihydroxyproline was achieved via the addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to the benzylimine derived from (R)-2,3-O-isopropylidene glyceraldehyde followed by N-allylation, ring-closing metathesis (RCM), and dihydroxylation.
