Abstract

The concise enantioselective synthesis of iminolyxitol glycosidase inhibitors starting from benzophenone imines of D-serine and L-alanine esters is very efficient. The reductive-alkenylation of the Schiff bases followed by substrate-directed dihydroxylation and amino dehydration gave the polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines in excellent overall yields (19.6% for 3 → 8. 9.9% for 2 → 13.).
