A number of dimeric conduritol and conduramine analogs have been synthesized from naphthalene via a combination of enzymatic and chemical methods to give oxygenated derivatives with high stereo- and regiocontrol in few steps. These compounds have been tested for enzymatic inhibition against common glycosidases.
