Selective Fowler Reductions: Asymmetric Total Syntheses of Isofagomine and Other 1-Azasugars from Methyl Nicotinate
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]An efficient, high-yielding strategy has been developed for the asymmetric synthesis of 1-N-iminosugars (1-azasugars), a new class of glycosidase inhibitors with promising biomedical applications. A highly regioselective procedure for the 1,2-reduction of substituted pyridines was employed to transform methyl nicotinate into several representative 1-azasugars.
