Rh. Furneaux et al., SYNTHESIS OF 2-ACETAMIDO-1,2,4-TRIDEOXY-1,4-IMINO-D-GALACTITOL, A NEWHEXOSAMINIDASE INHIBITOR, Tetrahedron letters, 34(21), 1993, pp. 3477-3480
2-Acetamido-1,2,4-trideoxy-1,4-imino-D-galactitol was synthesised from
2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose in 12 steps and was shown to be a modes
t hexosaminidase inhibitor.
