Abstract:

Aim To develop a concise method for the synthesis of bicyclic azasugar and thiosugar with novel scaffold. Methods The two primary hydroxyl groups of compound 1 were selectively protected with tosyl cloloride in pyridine, followed by ring-closure with sodium sulfide or primary amine to form the oxy-bridged bicyclic molecules in good yields. Results Two bicyclic azasugars and a thiosugar were produced from L-sorbose in several steps. Conclusion The described procedures provide an efficient method to synthesize bicyclic azasugar and thiosugar with novel scaffold as potential glycosidase inhibitors.
