New entry for asymmetric deoxyazasugar synthesis: syntheses of deoxymannojirimycin, deoxyaltrojirimycin and deoxygalactostatin

Abstract

Deoxyazasugars such as deoxymannojirimycin, deoxyaltrojirimycin and deoxygalactostatin were stereoselectively synthesized starting from (R)-(+)-4-methoxycarbonyloxazolidinone via a bicyclic oxazolidinylpiperidine as a common synthetic intermediate.
