Abstract
The first synthesis of 1,2-trans-homoiminosugars devised as mimics of I-d-GlcNAc and I-d-ManNAc is described. Key steps include a regioselective azidolysis of a cyclic sulfite and a I-amino alcohol skeletal rearrangement applied to a polyhydroxylated azepane. The I-d-GlcNAc derivative has been coupled to serine to deliver an iminosugar C-amino acid. The two homoiminosugars demonstrate moderate glycosidase inhibition.
