Glycals in Organic Synthesis: A Systematic Strategy for the Preparation of Uncommon Piperidine 1,2-Dideoxy-L-azasugars and 2-Deoxy-1,5-anhydro-L-hexitols
A systematic synthetic strategy has been developed for producing uncommonpiperidine1,2-dideoxy-L-azasugars. This method involves the formation of open intermediates such as 2, 7, and 10 easily by ring-opening of D-glycals with aqueous mercury(II) acetate/sodium borohydride. A concise sequence of regioselective amination and cyclization reactions then allowed us to prepare the cyclic compounds 5a
