[2+2] Cycloaddition of chiral imines 4-7, derived from 2-O-benzylglyceraldehyde, with α-alkoxyketenes 1-3 furnished 3-amino-3-deoxy-glycono-1,3-lactams 8-15 (50-78%) with 2,3-cis configuration in diastereomeric ratios of 87:13 to >95:5. From these O,N-deprotected β-lactams 16-18 were prepared. Reduction of the xylono-1,3-lactam 18 using monochloroalane (ClAlH2) produced the corresponding azetidine 19, while reduction of 14 with LiAlH4 have the aminotetrol derivative 20. Treatment of the β-lactam triol 21 with NaIO4 led to the 3,4-dihdro-2H-1,4-oxazine-3-one 22, via cleavage of the C2-C3 bond and recyclization. The 1,3-imino-xylitol 19 exhibited highly selective inhibition of the two gluco-amylases tested (IC50 values of 31 and 4 (M).
