The amyloglucosidases inhibitors (+)-lentiginosine (1) and (1S,2S,7R,8aS)-1,2,7-trihydroxyoctahydroindolizine (2) have been synthesized in high overall yield via nitrone cycloaddition to butenol employing an enantiomerically pure L-tartaric acid derived nitrone 5a. These syntheses profit of a highly regio- and stereoselective cycloaddition and provide the target compounds wit yields increased of an order of magnitude with respect to previous reports.
