Intermediates for incorporation of tetrahydroxypipecolic acid analogues of alpha- and beta-D-mannopyranose into combinatorial libraries: unexpected nanomolar-range hexosaminidase inhibitors. Synthesis of alpha- and beta-homomannojirimycin

Homoazasugars have the distinction as a class of natural products in that most of them have been synthesised before they were isolated. Syntheses of α-1 and β-homomannojirimycin 2 rely on the stereoselective and chemoselective sodium cyanoborohydride reduction of a [2.2.2] bicyclic imino lactone (6)...
