Asymmetric routes to azasugars from chiral bicyclic lactams. Synthesis of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-lyxitol; L-deoxymannojirimycin; rhammo-1-deoxynojirimycin and 1-deoxy-6-epicastanospermine
“…We were thus interested in the particular reactivity of cyclic γ‐keto‐acids. The particular reactivity of the ketoacids is exploited by Meyers’ team and other groups to synthesize pyrolidinones, pyrolidines, and other nitrogen containing heterocycles like azasugars (48,53–57).…”
Section: Bioinspiration: the Best Of Both Worldsmentioning
In this article, we compare drugs of natural origin to synthetic compounds and analyze the reasons why natural compounds occupy a place of choice in the current pharmacopoeia. The observations reported here support the design of synthetic compounds inspired from plant alkaloids and their biosynthetic pathway. Our reasoning leads to very efficient syntheses of compounds which complexity matches that of indolomonoterpenic alkaloids.

“…86 The initial task was the construction of the bicyclic lactam. Starting from 2,3-dihydropyran 114, hydroxymethyl-2,3-dihydropyran was formed using t-BuLi and paraformaldehyde.…”

“…The same procedure with the tetraacetate of methyl b-D D-galactopyranoside 330 gave 325. 86 Starting from the known bicyclic lactam 332, oxidation at the allylic position using SeO 2 gave alcohol 333 as a single diastereomer. Treatment with OsO 4 afforded the triol, the syn hydroxyl group of which was protected as the acetonide 334.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] This class of compounds has ability to inhibit the carbohydrate-processing enzymes glycosidases and glycosyl transferases. [7][8] Iminosugars have tremendous potential in the treatment of prominent diseases, such as cancer, [9][10][11] diabetes, 12-15 AIDS [16][17] and viral infections.…”
Asymmetric total synthesis of L-allo-1-deoxynojirimycin (L-allo-DNJ) was achieved from cisbutene-1,4-diol by employing Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, stereoselective flash dihydroxylation and ring enlargement reactions as key steps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
