An Oxidation and Ring Contraction Approach to the Synthesis of (±)-1-Deoxynojirimycin and (±)-1-Deoxyaltronojirimycin

Abstract: A reaction sequence involving the chemoselective olefinic oxidation of N(1)-benzyl-2,7-dihydro-1H-azepine with m-CPBA in the presence of HBF(4) and BnOH followed by ring contraction facilitates the stereoselective preparation of either of the epoxide diastereoisomers of (2RS,3SR)-N(1)-benzyl-2-chloromethyl-3-benzyloxy-4,5-epoxypiperidine by simple modification of the reaction conditions. Epoxide ring opening, functional group interconversion, and deprotection allow the synthesis of (+/-)-1-deoxynojirimycin and… Show more

“…Our groups and others have exploited the ring isomerization of seven-membered polyhydroxylated azacycles to generate new or known piperidine iminosugars. This transformation, based on a β-amino alcohol rearrangement, requires a free alcohol at the β-position and proceeds via a double S N 2 mechanism.…”

“…48 We first considered the epoxidation of the double bond in 12 followed by regioselectively ringopening by azide anion to introduce the amino substituent. Deceivingly, classical methodologies using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) or H 2 O 2 proved inefficient while harsher oxidant methods such as CF 3 CO 3 H 51,52 or oxone 49 generated inseparable 1:1 mixtures of the corresponding epoxides in moderate yields. We hypothesized that the rigid bicyclic skeleton of 12 was probably responsible for the low reactivity observed.…”

“…This kinetically controlled ring opening was preceded via attack of the nucleophile at the site remote from the endocyclic oxygen atom where carbocationic character is better tolerated. 19,20 However, such a ring opening in a trans- bromonium ion is not favored energetically as it will involve a high energy twist boat like transition state. The relative stereochemistry of bromohydrin 16 was confirmed by NMR experiments.…”
