amine ( 195 ) yielded products trans - and cis - 196 in good combined yield. Cleavage
of the isoxazoline products from the carbohydrate scaffold followed by N-benzyla-
tion and reduction of the ester to a primary alcohol yielded trans - and cis - 197 in
50% yield but only in a very modest ratio of 1 : 2; however, the enantiomeric purity
of the diastereomeric products was excellent. Attempts to use cyclohexylidene-
modified nitrones of d-ribose and d-mannose in an analogous fashion led to
significantly lower ees for trans - and cis - 197 [47b]. Both diastereomers were used
in the synthesis of peptide-like target compounds in a six-step sequence, including
reductive cleavage of the isoxazolidine N-O bond, that yielded (

)-negamycin ( 198 )
from trans - 197 and (
)-epinegamycin ( 199 ) from cis - 197 [47a, b].
Whitney and coworkers used the successful ribose-derived nitrone 176a in the
stereoselective preparation of acivicin ( 203 ) using methylidene-protected vinylgly-
cine derivative 200 as dipolarophile (Scheme 4.34) [48]. The cycloaddition gave the
adducts (S) - and (R) - 201 and acidic cleavage of the carbohydrate scaffolds with
subsequent oxidation using NCS yielded isoxazolines (S) - and (R) - 202 in good
overall yield and excellent dr. After chlorination of the isoxazoline moiety and
removal of all protective groups acivicin ( 203 ) was isolated in 39% overall yield.

Scheme 4.34 Stereoselective synthesis of acivicin ( 203 ) via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of
ribo-configured nitrone 176a with vinyl glycine derivative 200.
Sakamoto has published an elegant stereoselective synthesis of the N-terminal
amino acid part of nikkomycin Bz [49], an unusual dipeptide natural product
containing a nucleosidic motif (Figure 4.1). The synthetic approach used cyclohex-
ylidene-protected oxime ent - 193a, which was obtained from l-gulonic-
-lactone
( ent - 192 ). The corresponding d-gulo configured oxime 193 had previously been
designed by Kibayashi [47] (Scheme 4.33). Condensation of ent - 193a with methyl-
glyoxalate hemiacetal 178f yielded nitrone ent - 194a, which was subjected to
Lewis-acid-catalyzed transesterification with methoxy cinnamyl alcohol ( 205 ).
The resulting nitrone 206 underwent a highly diastereoselective intramolecular
1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, affording adduct 207 in 75% yield as a single diastere-
