摘要
Seven-membered iminocyclitols with diverse diastereomers were prepared starting with D- and L-serines and employing ring-closing olefin metathesis and dihydroxylation reaction sequence. The iminocyclitols were assayed for glycosidase inhibition and compound 20 was found to be a competitive inhibitor for β-glucosidase with K i 26.3μM. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
