Abstract

An efficient synthesis of new six-membered carbasugars in both L-form and D-form starting from N–acetylglucosamine is described. The key synthetic steps involved regioselective protection and deprotection, Ferrier carbocyclization, Peterson olefination, hydroboration and stereoselective epoxidation followed by regioselective epoxide ring opening reactions. These six-membered carbasugars showed moderate glycosidase inhibitory activity and one of the compounds was found selective towards β-galactosidase inhibitory activity.
