✦ Synopsis
Methyl-l-swainsonine, C 9 H 17 NO 3 , together with the 6Repimer, 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 dglycero-d-gulo-heptono-1,4-lactone as the starting material.
