| Summary: | (6S)-Methyl-L-swainsonine, C 9H 17NO 3, together with the 6R-epimer, was formed in a synthetic sequence in which there was an ambiguity in configuration at position C-6. This ambiguity was resolved by establishing the relative stereochemistry of the title compound by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The absolute configuration was determined by the use of D-glycero-D-gulo-heptono-1,4-lactone as the starting material. © 2007 International Union of Crystallography. All rights reserved. |
