Abstract

The first asymmetric total synthesis of a structurally novel cis-cyclopent [c] isoxazolidine alkaloid,(-)-pyrinodemin A (3), which exhibits potent cytotoxicity, has been accomplished through a highly diastereoselective intramolecular nitrone-olefin cycloaddition reaction as the key step. Thus, it has been found that the hitherto unknown absolute configuration of pyrinodemin A is as indicated in the structural formula 3.
