Abstract: | [reaction: see text]. The synthesis of D-lyxo-hexos-5-ulose (5-ketomannose, 1,5-dicarbonyl sugar), a synthetic precursor to the glycoprocessing inhibitor deoxymannojirimycin, was carried out by an in situ epoxidation and hydrolysis of a trimethylsilyl-protected 6-deoxyhex-5-enopyranoside followed by facile removal of the protecting groups. A novel nine-step synthesis of deoxymannojirimycin has also been achieved from methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside; this involved methanolysis of epoxides derived from an acetylated 1-azido-6-deoxyhex-5-enopyranoside followed by deprotection and catalytic hydrogenation. |
