Piperidine analogues of D-galactose as potent inhibitors of alpha-galactosidase: Synthesis by stannane-mediated hydroxymethylation of 5-azido-1,4-lactones. Structural relationships between D-galactosidase and L-rhamnosidase inhibitors

The syntheses of the polyhydroxylated piperidines deoxygalactonojirimycin 2, homogalactonojirimycins 7 and 9, and other 2,6-iminoheptitol derivatives, including an analogue of L-altropyranose, are reported. 5-Azidoaldono1,4-lactones undergo chain extension to afford azido lactols by the addition of...
