P. Szolcsanyi et al., Pd(II)-catalysed aminocarbonylation as a key step in the total synthesis of C-6 homologues of 1-deoxynojirimycin and 1-deoxy-L-idonojirimycin, TETRAHEDR-A, 11(12), 2000, pp. 2579-2597
The first successful Pd(II)-catalysed aminocarbonylation of the highly subs
tituted benzylaminoalkene 5 allo ws the direct preparation of fused piperid
ine lactones 3 and 4, which are subsequently converted to the novel C-6 hom
ologue of 1-deoxynojirimycin 1 and 1-deoxy-L-idonojirimycin 2. The study of
the influence of various catalytic conditions on the diastereoselectivity
and product distribution of the key amino-carbonylation is presented. (C) 2
