Synthesis of C2-symmetric bis(cyclic isothioureas) as potent inhibitors of glycosidases
摘要:
Enantiopure C-2-symmetric bis(cyclic isothioureas), considered as potent inhibitors of glycosidases, have been synthesized from D-mannitol. The key step involved a mercuric-catalyzed transformation of a cyclic 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione into a 2-N-tert-butylamino-1,3-thiazoline. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
