Abstract

Cyclisation by double reductive amination of 2-acetamino-2-deoxy-D-xylo-hexos-5-ulose with N-2 protected L-lysine derivatives provided 2-acetamino-1,2-dideoxynojirimycin derivatives without any observable epimer formation at C-5. Modifications on the lysine moiety gave access to lipophilic derivatives that exhibited improved hexosaminidase inhibitory activities. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
