Polyhydroxylated nortropanes starting from D-glucose: Synthesis of homochiral (+) and ( -)-Calystegines B2

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)74717-4

The cycloheptano-isoxazoline 1, prepared from D-glucose, is converted to 6,7-dideoxy cycloheptitols which are suitable precursors for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure (+) and (-)-Calystegines B₂.
