Highly selective reductions of 5-acyl-2-isoxazolines and conversion of the resulting syn-5-hydroxyalkyl-2-isoxazolines into syn-diols are key steps in concise syntheses of (+/-)-exo-brevicomin, and (+/-)-pestalotin.With an asymmetric nitrile oxide as starting material, cycloaddition with the acrylate derivative of Oppolzer's camphor sultam leads to a synthesis of (-)-pestalotin.
