A short and very efficient synthesis of trehazolamine (3), the aglycon of the potent trehalase inhibitor trehazolin (2), has been achieved starting from d-glucose. The key transformation in this approach is a high-yielding two-step, one-pot sequence consisting of a Swern oxidation of a 1,5-diol followed by a reductive carbocyclization of the resultant 1,5-dicarbonyl compound promoted by samarium diiodide. The overall yield of 3 is 39% over nine steps from 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-d-glucose (5). An even shorter synthesis of 30, a diastereoisomeric analogue of 3, is also described starting from 5. The key transformation in this second route is a highly stereoselective ketone oxime ether reductive carbocyclization promoted also by samarium diiodide. The overall yield of 30 is 57% over four steps from 5.
