A convenient asymmetric synthesis of the protected polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine 6, a key intermediate for the synthesis ofpyrrolidine azasugars is reported. The synthesis started with tert-butyl (2R,3R, 4S)-3,4-bis(benzyloxy)-2-(benzyloxymethyl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-l-earboxylate 8, which was derived from the fully protected D-tartarimide 7 in 62% overall yield. Addition of vinylmagnesium bromide with compound 8 at --78℃ for 2 h afforded the aza-hemiacetal 9a and its tautomer 9b, which, without separation, were treated with NaBH4/CeCl3 · H2 O to give the reduced product 10 as the only observable diastereomer in 90 %yield. Under the mesylation conditions (MsC1: 2.0 equiv, Et3 N: 3 equiv, CH2 Cl2, 12 h), compound 10 was converted directly to the eyclized product 12 in 89% yield. Oxidative cleavage (RuCl3-NalO4, MeCN/H2 O, rt) of the olefin 12 followed by reduction of the crude aldehyde 13 with NaBH, afforded the desired pyrrolidine 6,tert-butyl (2R,3R,4R,5R)-3,4-his(benzyloxy)-2-(benzyloxymethyl)-5-(hydroxy-methyl) pyrrolidine-l-carboxylate in 58% overall yield from 12. Thus, using vinyl group as a synthetic equivalent of hydroxymethyl group, pyrrolidine 6 was synthesized from building bloek 8 in 46% overall yield. Pyrrolidine 6 is a key intermediate for the synthesis of DMDP and other pyrrolidine azasugars.
