Stereoselective cycloadditions of chiral acyl-nitroso compounds; selective reactions of ring-cleaved cycloadducts leading to a new approach to polyoxamic acid.
Diesters obtained from diacids produced by oxidative ring cleavage of cycloadducts derived from acyl-nitroso compounds and cyclic 1,3-dienes undergo highly regioselective hydrolysis on reaction with lithium hydroperoxide, which allows for easy differentiation of the carboxyl groups leading to a new approach to polyoxamic acid.
