A NEW APPROACH TO 1-DEOXY-AZASUGARS : ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF DEOXYMANNOJIRIMYCIN

Abstract A concise and flexible method based upon the kinetic resolution of the α-furfurylamine derivative ( 3 ) for asymmetric synthesis of 1-deoxy-azasugars has been provided and deoxymannojirimycin ( 2 ) has been synthesized.
