A general method for the homologation of aldehydes to α-amino aldehydes (aminohomologation) has been developed, which employs nitrones as iminium derivatives of the aldehydes.Key operations include a) the addition of a thiazole metalated at C-2 to the N-benzylnitrone derived from the aldehyde, b) the reductive dehydroxylation of the resultant thiazolyl N-benzylhydroxylamine, and c) the unmasking of the formyl group from the thiazole ring.The homologation sequence was studied by employing nitrones derived from various chiral polyalkoxy aldehydes and dialdoses.The addition of 2-lithiothiazole to these nitrones was syn-selective, whereas the reaction with the same nitrones precomplexed with Lewis acids was anti-selective.Hence, from each nitrone a pair of diastereoisomeric hydroxylamines was obtained.These compounds were then converted by the above sequence into α-epimeric α-amino aldehydes.Model elaborations of some of these products afforded the amino sugars D-glucosamine, D-mannosamine, D-nojirimycin, and advanced intermediates for the synthesis of destomic acid and lincosamine. - Keywords: amino aldehydes; aminohomologation; amino sugars; nitrones; thiazoles
Synthesis of (+)- and (-)-nojirimycin and their 1-deoxy derivatives from myo-inositol

The conversion of the naturally abundant cyclitol, myo-inositol (4), into (+)-nojirimycin (1a), its enantiomer (1b), and their 1-deoxy analogues (2a and 2b) is described. Biological assay of 2a, 2b, and the bisulfite adducts of 1a and 1b (3a and 3b) showed that the compounds having the unnatural L-gluco configuration (2b and 3b) possess moderate-to-high inhibitory activity against almond β-D-glucosidase and bovine liver β-D-galactosidase.
