“…Direct dihydroxylation of 205 with osmium tetroxide introduced a cis -diol moiety oriented anti to the tert -butyldimethylsilyloxy group and basic hydrolysis of 208 gave (2 S ,3 S ,4 S ,5 S )-2-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine-3,4,5-triol ((2 S ,3 S ,4 S ,5 S )- 200 , ʟ-1-deoxymannojirimycin). After removal of the silyl protection from 205 the epoxidation with MCPBA produced the syn -epoxide 209 which was converted into (2 S ,3 S ,4 R ,5 S )-2-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine-3,4,5-triol ((2 S ,3 S ,4 R ,5 S )- 200 , ʟ-1-deoxyaltronojirimycin) as described earlier [111].…”
