Abstract
A short, highly diastereoselective synthesis of (+)-1-deoxynojirimycin from readily available l-isoserine with overall yield of 32.0% in eight steps is described. The key step includes a diastereoselective syn-coupling reaction of Cbz-protected (S)-isoserinal acetonide 6 and vinylzinc nucleophile, generated conveniently from a protected propargyl alcohol 7 by a hydrozirconation-transmetalation sequence. Significantly, not only does this simple flexible strategy provide a concise approach to (+)-1-deoxynojirimycin, but it also can readily be adopted for the synthesis of other stereoisomers of the 1-deoxynojirimycin family from l- or d-isoserine through different coupling conditions and stereoselective epoxidation of allylic alcohol 4 by the same procedures.
