Abstract
D-Glucose-derived aziridine-2-carboxylate 1 was converted into α-amino aldehyde 7, which, after Wittig olefination, asymmetric dihydroxylation, hydrogenation followed by LiAlH4 reduction, and N-Cbz protection, afforded two diastereomeric pyrrolidines 11a and 11b with sugar appendages. Removal of the 1,2-acetonide functionality in 11a/11b and reductive amination gave the pentahydroxyindolizidine alkaloids 6g and 6h, respectively, with (S) absolute configurations at the ring junctions. The glycosidase inhibitory activities of these compounds were studied.
