Skeletal rearrangement of seven-membered iminosugars: Synthesis of (−)-adenophorine,(−)-1-epi-adenophorine and derivatives and evaluation as glycosidase …
Abstract The mirror image of natural product (+)-adenophorine along with its 1-epi-, 1-homo- analogs and other derivatives have been synthesized and evaluated as glycosidase inhibitors. The synthetic strategy is based on the skeletal rearrangement of tetrahydroxylated C-alkyl azepanes obtained via a Staudinger/azaWittig/alkylation sequence starting from a sugar-derived azidolactol. Several organometallic species have been investigated for the ...
