Looking glass inhibitors: synthesis of a potent naringinase inhibitor L-DIM [1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-L-mannitol], the enantiomer of DIM [1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-mannitol] a potent alpha-D-mannosidase inhibitor
The synthesis of l-DIM [1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-l-mannitol] and of 1,4-imino-d-glycero-l-talo-heptitol from d-glycero-d-gulo-heptono-1,4-lactone depends on the use of pentan-3-one to form two five ring ketals as described by Burke, rather than the formation of one five ring and one six ring ketal form...
