Abstract

The consecutive reduction and cyclisation of O-benzoyl protected 5-O- mesylhexose O-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyl)oximes to afford chiral N- hydroxypyrrolidines is discussed. The mechanism involves a cascade of neighboring group participation steps involving the O-benzoyl protecting groups. This protocol gave rise to new chiral N-hydroxypyrrolidines in good overall yield.
