Preliminary studies on the transformation of nitrosugars into branched chain iminosugars: synthesis of 1,4-dideoxy-4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,4-imino-pentanols.

A novel promising strategy for the transformation of nitrosugars into branched pyrrolidines, based on double Henry reaction with formaldehyde followed by reductive ring closure, allowed the first enantiospecific synthesis of a 4-C-hydroxymethyl branched derivative of the well-known glycosidase inhib...
