Abstract

A new, promising chiral building block 9 for the synthesis of 1-deoxy-4,5-trans-oriented azasugars such as 1-deoxynojirimycin (1) was prepared in only four steps from the Garner aldehyde 10 using catalytic ring-closing metathesis (RCM) for the construction of the piperidine ring. In practical test, the first synthesis of all four isomers (1 and 6-8) of trans-4,5-orientated 1-deoxyiminosugars using 9 as a common chiral building block was demonstrated. Graphical Abstract
