Stereoselective Chirality Extension of syn,anti- and syn,syn-Oxazine and Stereochemical Analysis of Chiral 1,3-Oxazines: Stereoselective Total Syntheses of (+)-1-Deoxygalactonojirimycin and (-)-1-Deoxygulonojirimycin.

This paper describes the stereoselective total syntheses of (+)-1-deoxygalactonojirimycin and (-)-1-deoxygulonojirimycin via new chiral building blocks syn,anti,syn-oxazine 11a and syn,syn,anti-oxazine 13a. These were accomplished in four steps in 44.1 and 33.

Chirality extension of an oxazine building block en route to total syntheses of (+)-hyacinthacine A2 and sphingofungin B.

Concise and stereocontrolled syntheses of (+)-hyacinthacine A2 and sphingofungin B were achieved via a diastereomerically enriched oxazine intermediate. The key strategies include palladium(0)-catalyzed intramolecular oxazine formation and diastereoselective nucleophilic addition to an aldehyde. (+)-Hyacinthacine A2 was synthesized in 13 steps and 10.
