A variety of enantiomerically pure α-hydroxy esters were converted into enantiomerically pure 3,7-dioxa-2-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes 7 by the following reaction sequence. Allylation of the hydroxy group was followed by reduction of the ester group. The resulting aldehyde was treated with an N-alkylhydroxylamine to give an oxaalkenyl nitrone 6 which underwent spontaneously an intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition affording 7. Opening of the isoxazolidine ring of 7 by various reductive methods yielded the highly substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives 11.
