Abstract

Abstract The potent glucosidase inhibitor 1-deoxynojirimycin was synthesized from L-sorbose using a short synthesis and only one protecting group. The last step, which constituted the removal of an acetonide protecting group and an intramolecular reductive amination, was accomplished on an acidic lon-exchange resin. This provided a synthesis capable of being operated on a multi-kilogram scale.
