The development of a one-step amination-cyclization cascade reaction for the synthesis of N-substituted iminosugars from iodo-pentoses and hexoses is reported. This novel methodology allows for the stereoselective conversion of easily accessible iodo-aldoses and iodo-ketoses into iminosugars in a single step, in highly efficient yields (63-95%), and in aqueous media. Furthermore, the use of functionalized amines allows for the synthesis of N-functionalized iminosugars without additional steps. To illustrate this methodology, a number of biologically important iminosugars were prepared, including 1-deoxynojirimycin, (3 |
