Abstract

.alpha.-Homojirimycin and 6-dpi-homojirimycin are each synthesized from 2-azido-2-deoxy-3,4:6,7-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glycero-D-talo-heptono-1,5-l actone in which the side chain acetonide is hydrolyzed to give the corresponding diol which is then protected with a silyl protecting agent to form a silyl ether. The latter compound is used as a divergent intermediate in which the piperidine ring is formed by joining the nitrogen function at C-2 to C-6 (A) with inversion of configuration at C-6 to form 6-epi-homomannojirimycin or (B) with retention of configuration at C-6 to form .alpha.-homomannojirimycin.
