The syntheses of all four imidazolo-piperidino-pentoses in the L-series ent-2 to ent-5, and of three out of the four possible stereomers in the D-series 3, 4, and 5, are reported. The linear imidazolo sugar precursors were prepared, either by double condensation of formamidine with protected aldohexoses, or by nucleophilic addition of a lithiated imidazole derivative to protected aldotetroses. Cyclisation of these linear imidazolo-carbohydrates was performed by intramolecular S N 2 reactions. These were followed by deprotection to
