Optically active ent-calystegine B4 was prepared in 13 steps from commercially available chiral l-dimethyl tartrate. The synthesis was achieved by the Michael addition and the aldol reaction of nitromethane to form cycloheptanone in a stereoselective manner. Reduction of the nitro group in the presence of Boc2O accomplished an efficient conversion to amino cycloheptanone, which readily afforded the desired ent-calystegine B4.
