Stereoselective synthesis of novel glyco-pyrano pyrrolidines/pyrrolizidines/indolizidines through intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition approach

An efficient and stereoselective synthesis of novel furo-pyrano pyrrolidine/pyrrolizidine/indolizidine derivatives has been achieved by intramolecular [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylide generated in situ from O-allyl sugar-derived aldehyde and different secondary amino acids.
