The bicyclic isoxazolidine 6,7-dibenzoyloxy-N-methyl-8-tosyloxy-3-oxa-2-azabicyclooctane (1), which is easily obtained from a readily available D-glucose derivative, has been converted into the epoxy lactone 8-oxo-3,7-dioxatricyclo2,4>nonane (13), via a series of cyclopentane derivatives, in ten steps.Since the product (13) can be used to prepare prostaglandins this sequence represents a new route to these compounds in their enantiomerically pure natural form.
