POLYHYDROXYLATED PYRROLIDINES FROM SUGAR LACTONES - SYNTHESIS OF 1,4-DIDEOXY-1,4-IMINO-D-GLUCITOL FROM D-GALACTONOLACTONE AND SYNTHESES OF 1,4-DIDEOXY-1,4-IMINO-D-ALLITOL, 1,4-DIDEOXY-1,4-IMINO-D-RIBITOL, AND (2S,3R,4S)-3,4-DIHYDROXYPROLINE FROM D-GULONOLACTONE

The use of readily available sugar lactones in the synthesis of polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines is illustrated by the preparation of the glucosidase inhibitor 1,4-dideoxy-1, 4-imino-D-glucitol from D-galactonolactone and by the conversion of D-gulonolactone into 1,4-dideoxy-l,4-imino-D-allitol, 1,4-di...
