To synthesize (3′ R, 5′ S)-3′-hydroxycotinine [], the main metabolite of nicotine (), cycloaddition of C-(3-pyridyl) nitrones,, and with (2R)-and (2S)-N-(acryloyl) bornane-10, 2- sultam [(2R)-and] was examined. Among them, l-gulose-derived nitrone underwent stereoselective cycloaddition with to afford cycloadduct, which was elaborated to.
