4-C-Me-DAB and 4-C-Me-LAB - enantiomeric alkyl-branched pyrrolidine iminosugars - are specific and potent α-glucosidase inhibitors; acetone as the sole protecting group.
The syntheses of 4-C-Me-DAB [1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-4-C-methyl-d-arabinitol] from l-erythronolactone and of 4-C-Me-LAB [from d-erythronolactone] require only a single acetonide protecting group. The effect of pH on the NMR spectra of 4-C-Me-DAB [pK(a) of the salt around 8.4] is discussed and illustra...
