Intramolecular N-alkylation of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-methanesulfonyl-6-O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-D-mann ofuranose-oxime 7 afforded a five-membered cyclic nitrone 9, which on N-O bond reductive cleavage followed by deprotection of -OTBS and acetonide functionalities gave 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-allitol (DIA) 3. Addition of allylmagnesium chloride to nitrone 9 afforded alpha-allylated product 10a in high diastereoselectivity providing an easy entry to N-hydroxy-C1-alpha-allyl-substituted pyrrolidine iminosugar 4a after removal of protecting group, while N-O bond reductive cleavage in 10a afforded C1-alpha-allyl-pyrrolidine iminosugar 4b.

Herein, we describe a new synthetic strategy towards an analogue of the spiro-beta-lactone-gamma-lactam ring found in a class of potent antibiotics, the oxazolomycins and lajollamycin. The synthetic idea relies on the construction of two rings (beta-lactone and pyrrolidinone). The formation of the spiro-beta-lactone was accomplished by a crossed Cannizzaro reaction, while the 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidinone ring was constructed by a titanium(IV) chloride mediated chelation-controlled double stereodifferentiating Crimmins aldol reaction of Garner{\textquoteright}s aldehyde.
