Abstract

The synthesis of methyl 2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-α-D-mannofuranoside (1) from D- glucose is reported; the conversions of (1) into derivatives of methyl 3-O-benzyl-2, 6-dideoxy- 2, 6-imino-α-D-mannofuranoside (as precursors for the synthesis of polyhydroxylated piperidines) and into the hydroxylated pyrrrolidine, 2, 5-dideoxy-2, 5-imino-D-mannitol [2R, 5R-dihydroxymethyl-3R, 4R-dihydroxypyrrolidine] are described.
