摘要:
1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of N-benzyl nitrone 2 to delta-lactone 15 proceeded with excellent stereoselectivity to provide only one adduct 16. Cycloadduct 16 was subsequently subjected to a sequence of reactions involving rearrangement to gamma-lactone, glycolic cleavage/reduction, protection of the terminal hydroxymethyl group, reduction of the lactone, desilylation/mesylation, and hydrogenolysis of the N-O bond providing (-)-isofagomine and its N-substituted derivatives. The biologic activity of N-substituted (-)-isofagomines toward commercially available alpha- and beta-glucosidases, alpha-D-mannosidase, alpha-L-fucosidase, beta-D-glucuronidase, and beta-D-galactosidase was tested.
