Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of piperidine alkaloids deoxymannojirimycin and d- mannolactam from d-serine has been achieved. The key step involves palladium-catalysed decarboxylative carbonylation of a serine-derived 5-vinyloxazolidin-2-one to give 6-(tert- butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-3, 6-dihydro-1H-pyridin-2-one which was subsequently converted into the title compounds.
