Abstract

The utility of a D-glucose-derived aziridine carboxylate was demonstrated for the synthesis of polyhydroxylated quinolizidine and indolizidine alkaloids. The chemoselective reduction of 1 followed by two-carbon homologation by the Wittig reaction afforded gamma,delta-aziridino-alpha,beta-unsaturated ester 9, which on regioselective nucleophilic aziridine ring opening either by using water as a nucleophile or hydrogenation afforded delta-lactams 11/16--true synthons for the synthesis of four structurally different iminosugars, namely quinolizidine alkaloids 5b/5c, swainsonine 6b and lentiginosine 7b analogues. Glycosidase inhibitory activities of these iminosugars were investigated.
