(Chemical Equation Presented) An asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-swainsonine and (+)-6-epicastanospermine is described from a common intermediate, which is obtained through diastereoselective [2 + 2] cycloaddition of dichloroketene to a chiral enol ether.

An asymmetric synthesis of (+)-castanospermine is presented in which enol ether metathesis-hydroboration/oxidation is used for stereoselective installation of the trans-trans hydroxyl groups on the piperidine ring of the alkaloid.
