(3R,4S)-3-Hydroxy-4-N-allyl-N-Boc-amino-1-pentene 10, animportant precursor for the synthesis of polyhydroxylatedpiperidines, has been achieved as a single diastereomerwithout racemization via vinyl Grignard addition to N-Boc-N-allyl aminoaldehyde 9, which was derived from anenantiopure natural amino acid. Having forged a tetrahydropyridine ring scaffold 13 from 10 in 85% yield via RCMusing Grubbs II catalyst, we were able to effect its stereodivergent dihydroxylation, via a common epoxide intermediate to yield a range of interesting hydroxylated piperidines,including ent-1,6-dideoxynojirimycin (ent-1,6-dDNJ) 1 (28%overall yield) and 5-amino-1,5,6-trideoxyaltrose 2 (29% overall yield) in excellent dr. To the best of our knowledge, oursynthesis of ent-1,6-dDNJ 1 is the most expeditious to date.
