Direct Access to Iminosugars through an Interrupted Kondrat’eva Reaction

Abstract

A concise synthesis of an iminosugar from an oxazole is presented that involves an interrupted inverse electron-demand Kondrat’eva reaction.

Key words

iminosugar - oxazole - Kondrat’eva reaction - tether - ­alkaloids
