The regio- and stereoselective synthesis of a new synthon, trans-3,8-dioxatricyclo[3.2.1.0(2,4)]octane-6,7-diamine, from 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylate is reported. Transformation of the acid functionalities to acyl azides followed by Curtius rearrangement gave the corresponding trans-diisocyanate, which was reacted with HCl to produce a trans-diamino compound that is a potentially important synthon for the versatile synthesis of aminocyclitols.
