Two synthetic routes to a carbocyclic precursor to valienamine are reported, starting from either d-glucose or l-sorbose and using ring-closing metathesis as a key step. A low-yielding synthesis of 1-epi-valienamine is reported. Results from an abortive third possible route to valienamine based on an early introduction of nitrogen are discussed.
