Synthesis of iminopolyols via Henry reaction: a short route to the α-manno- sidase inhibitor 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-mannitol and to amino analogues†^,1

Abstract

The α-mannosidase inhibitor 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-mannitol (DIM) as well as amino analogues of DIM and of deoxy-manno-nojirimycin, respectively, have been prepared using a diastereoselective nitroaldol addition as the key step.
