A. Defoin et al., POTENT GLYCOSIDASE INHIBITORS VIA HETERO-DIELS-ALDER REACTIONS - ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF 5-METHYL-TRIHYDROXYPYRROLIDINES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 8(3), 1997, pp. 363-366
Some straightforward chemical transformations of oxazine diol 4, which
was obtained from sorbaldehyde 2 by an asymmetric hetero Diels-Alder
reaction followed by osmylation, led to the protected dihydroxypyrroli
dine-aldehyde 8a and, after basic epimerisation, to 8b. Reduction of t
he aldehyde moiety and deprotection gave the potent glycosidase inhibi
tors 2,5,6-trideoxy-2,5-imino-D-altritol and D-allitol 9a and 9b. (C)
