Abstract

A remarkably efficient synthesis of the biologically important iminosugar 1- deoxygalactonojirimycin (DGJ) is presented. Key to this strategy is the development of a novel carbamate annulation reaction that favours formation of a six-membered carbamate- containing piperidine skeleton over its five-membered counterpart.
