Expeditious synthesis of chiral six and seven membered nitrogen heterocycles from carbohydrate amines by N-allyl carbohydrate nitrone cycloaddition: Tuning of regioselectivity by N-substitution

The cycloaddition of N-allyl carbohydrate nitrones leads to enantiomerically pure six and seven membered nitrogen heterocycles and the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition can be tuned by changing the substituent on the nitrogen atom.
