“…Following published procedures, 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) was prepared from 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-␣-glucopyranose (23). 2,5-Anhydro-imino-D-glucitol was prepared from 5-keto-D-fructose according to Baxter and Reitz's method (24,25). N-nonyl compounds (2, 3, 4, 5, and diethyl nonylamine) were prepared via reductive amination of nonyl aldehyde with 2,5-anhydro-imino-D-glucitol, morpholine, 1-(hydroxyethyl)piperazine, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, and diethylamine, respectively.…”
