Starting from commercially available lactone 10, a concise and highly diastereoselective synthesis of (-)-(lS,2R,8aS)-2-epi-lentiginosine (2) is described. The synthesis featured an unexpected highly erythro-selective reaction of Grignard reagent 7 with the protected N,O-acetal 8. The stereochemical outcome of this reaction is contrary to the known results involving the reactions with O-benzyl protected aminofuranosides and aminoglycosides. Thus, this method constitutes an extension of the threo-diastereoselective C-C bond formation methodology.
