Abstract

The value of readily available 2-C-methyl aldonic acids in short syntheses of carbon branched piperidines containing quaternary centers is demonstrated. The effect of the introduction of a 4-C-methyl group into piperidine imino sugar inhibitors of l-fucosidases and d-galactosidases is reported.
