The synthesis of two pentahydroxylated pyrrolizidines, hyacinthacine C 5 ( 1 ) and 6,7‐di‐ epi ‐hyacinthacine C 5 ( 12 ), from an orthogonally protected pyrrolidine of 2,5‐dideoxy‐2,5‐imino‐ D ‐mannitol configuration (i.e., 7 ) is described. The analytical and spectroscopic data of synthetic 1 present some differences with those of natural hyacinthacine C 5 that exceed the previously observed variations in similar compounds. On this respect, additional studies on chemical derivatives of synthetic 1 support our initially proposed structure and establish the absolute configuration of putative (+)‐hyacinthacine C 5 as that shown in 1 . These studies lead us to conclude that the natural compound originally labeled as (+)‐hyacinthacine C 5 might be a different isomer.
