Synthesis of novel isoxazoline-fused cispentacin stereoisomers

New isoxazoline-fused cispentacins were prepared by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of nitrile oxides to β-amino esters containing a cyclopentene skeleton. This synthetic procedure gave regio- and diastereoisomers of the cispentacins. The synthetic route was extended to the synthesis of these compounds in enantiomerically pure form.
