Stereodivergent synthesis of iminosugars from stannylated derivatives of (S)-vinylglycinol.
Résumé
An original access to iminosugars from a cis/trans mixture of stannylated oxazolidinones 5 is reported. The dehydropiperidines 7-trans and 7-cis were obtained stereoselectively with an RS and SS configuration depending on the order of the Sn-Li transmetalation (followed by electrophilic trapping) and of the ring closing metathesis reactions due to the stereoselective epimerization of the α-aminoanion intermediate. The dehydropiperidines 7-trans and 7-cis were subsequently used for the synthesis of enantiopure homonojirimycin analogs.
