The chiral nonracemic compound 4 was prepared from ethyl ( S )‐(–)‐lactate and 1,4‐dibromo‐2‐butyne. Reduction with DIBAH at −72°C and subsequent treatment of the resulting dialdehyde with N ‐methylhydroxylamine yielded the dinitrone 5 , which underwent two consecutive intramolecular cycloadditions to give the chiral nonracemic compound 7 . The structure of 7 was confirmed by an X‐ray analysis. Reductive ring opening afforded compound 8 .
