Efficient one-pot synthesis of the unexpected fused multicyclic iminosugars by an aza-Diels–Alder mechanism

Abstract

A simple and efficient one-pot synthesis has been developed firstly by an aza-Diels–Alder mechanism for the stereoselective synthesis of novel fused multicyclic iminosugars with structural diversity. The adaptability of this method has been demonstrated by using a variety of aromatic amines and tosylated sugars.
