The asymmetric syntheses of 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-D-glucitol [(þ)-DGDP] and 1,2,5-trideoxy-1-amino2,5-imino-D-glucitol [(þ)-ADGDP] were achieved via the ring-closing iodoamination of an enantiopure bishomoallylic amine, followed by functionalisation of the resultant iodomethyl substituted pyrrolidine. In the case of (þ)-DGDP, formation of the corresponding aziridinium ion followed by regioselective ringopening with H2O gave the desired hydroxymethyl substituted pyrrolidine as a single diastereoisomer (>99:1 dr), with subsequent deprotection giving (þ)-DGDP in good yield. Whereas in the case of (þ)-ADGDP, displacement of iodide with NaN3 proved to be optimal, giving (þ)-ADGDP in good yield after reduction and deprotection. Ó 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Many polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines occur within Nature. Given the potent and specific inhibitory activity toward carbohydrate processing enzymes that many members of this class of compounds display, polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines have been the targets of numerous synthetic endeavours,1 and have been documented as highly promising candidates for the development of new therapeutic agents for the treatment of disorders such as diabetes, cancer and viral infections (e.g., HIV).2 For example, 2,5-dideoxy-2,5imino-D-mannitol [(þ)-DMDP] 1, 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-iminogalactitol (DGADP) 2 and 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino-D-glucitol [(þ)-DGDP] 3 are known inhibitors of several galactosidase and glucosidase enzymes.3,4 Furthermore, the synthetic 1-deoxy-1-amino-analogue of DMDP [(þ)-ADMDP] 4, and N(1)-substituted derivatives, have also been shown to display significantly enhanced selectivity and potency toward the inhibition of glucosidases.5 Most syntheses of compounds such as (þ)-DGDP 3 concern the elaboration of readily available carbohydrate precursors;6,7 in contrast, relatively few asymmetric syntheses of (þ)-DGDP 3 have been reported (Fig. 1).8 Herein we report asymmetric syntheses of both (þ)-DGDP 3 and its 1-deoxy-1-amino-analogue 1,2,5-trideoxy-1-amino-2,5-imino-Dglucitol [(þ)-ADGDP], employing a ring-closing iodoamination

reaction, followed by functionalisation of the resultant iodomethyl substituted pyrrolidine. As part of our ongoing research programme concerning the asymmetric syntheses of enantiopure pyrrolidines,9 piperidines,10 and related natural products,11 we have recently reported the asymmetric syntheses of ()-1-deoxymannojirimycin 14 and its diastereoisomer (þ)-1-deoxyallonojirimycin.12 Our synthetic strategy for the construction of the piperidine ring relied on the ring-closing iodoamination of an enantiopure bishomoallylic amine such as 9, which proceeds with concomitant N-debenzylation, followed by ring-expansion of the resultant C(2)-iodomethyl

substituted pyrrolidine 10. Bishomoallylic amine 9 was prepared in five steps from a,b-unsaturated ester 5: conjugate addition of lithium (R)-N-benzyl-N-(a-methylbenzyl)amide to 5,13 followed by in situ oxidation of the intermediate lithium (Z)-b-amino enolate14 with ()-camphorsulfonyloxaziridine [()-CSO] gave a-hydroxy-bamino ester 6 in >99:1 dr;13 subsequent O-benzyl protection, reduction of the ester moiety within 7, oxidation of the resultant alcohol 8, and reaction with vinylmagnesium bromide gave 9, which was isolated as a single diastereoisomer (>99:1 dr). Treatment of 9 with I2 and NaHCO3 in MeCN gave C(5)-iodomethyl substituted pyrrolidine 10, which could then be converted into carbonate 12 via the intermediacy of aziridinium ion 11, following intramolecular ring-opening of the aziridinium intermediate by a carbonate group tethered at the C(4)-position.15 However, it was found that under optimised conditions a superior yield of carbonate 12 could be obtained directly from 9. In this case, subsequent O-silyl deprotection of 12, methanolysis, and hydrogenolysis of 13 gave ()-1deoxymannojirimycin 14, which was isolated in good yield as a single diastereoisomer (Scheme 1).

2. Results and discussion We envisaged that repetition of the protocol for the generation of aziridinium ion 11, followed by treatment of 11 with dioxane/H2O (i.e., omitting the addition of NaHCO3) would produce pyrrolidine 15 preferentially, as a result of ring-opening with H2O at the least hindered C(6)-position within aziridinium ion 11. Thus, treatment of 10 with AgBF4 in CH2Cl2 gave quantitative conversion to aziridinium ion 11, which was then treated with a 3:1 mixture of dioxane and H2O, which produced a 90:10 mixture of pyrrolidine 15 and the known piperidine 16,12 respectively. The relative configuration within pyrrolidine 15 was initially assigned on the basis that substitution occurs with overall retention of configuration, and this assignment was subsequently confirmed unambiguously via single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of a derivative. O-Silyl deprotection of the mixture of 15 and 16, followed by peracetylation of the mixture of 17 and 18 facilitated the isolation of both 19 and 20 in 65 and 4% yield (from 10), respectively, as single diastereoisomers (>99:1 dr) in each case (Scheme 2).

Transesterification of pyrrolidine 19 upon treatment with K2CO3 in MeOH was followed by conversion to the corresponding hydrochloride salt 21, which was isolated in quantitative yield and >99:1 dr. The relative configuration within 21 was assigned unambiguously by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis;16 furthermore, the determination of a Flack x parameter17 of 0.057(13) for the crystal structure of 21$H2O allowed the assigned absolute

(2R,3R,4R,5S)-configuration within 21 to be confirmed unambiguously (Fig. 2), thereby also confirming the assigned configurations within 15, 17 and 19. Subsequent hydrogenolytic N- and Odebenzylation of 21 upon treatment with Pearlman’s catalyst [Pd(OH)2/C] under an atmosphere of H2 (5 atm) gave hydrochloride salt 22 in quantitative yield and >99:1 dr. Further purification of this sample by ion exchange chromatography on Dowex 50WX8 (Hþ form) resin gave (þ)-DGDP 3 in quantitative yield as a single diastereoisomer (Scheme 3). The melting point, specific rotation, and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for 3 were in excellent agreement with literature values18 for both the natural product and synthetic samples {mp 124e127  C; lit.3c for sample isolated from the natural source mp 127e130  C; lit.8 mp 139e141  C; lit.6 mp 3c 136e138  C; [a]20 D þ22.2 (c 0.5, H2O); lit. for sample isolated from the natural source [a]D þ26.1 (c 0.84, H2O); lit.7k [a]28 D þ22.7 (c 0.14, H2O); lit.18a [a]22 D þ24.1 (c 1.0, H2O)}.

Attempts to effect ring-opening of aziridinium ion 11 with nitrogen-centred nucleophiles (e.g., azide, ammonia, etc.) were not efficacious, although when 9 was subjected to our standard ringclosing iodoamination protocol (i.e., treatment with I2 and NaHCO3 in MeCN),9b,c,d followed by immediate treatment of the crude reaction mixture with NaN3 in DMF, a 49:10:41 mixture of the corresponding pyrrolidine 23, piperidine 24,19 and returned starting material 9, respectively, was produced; chromatographic purification of this mixture gave azide 23 in 23% isolated yield. O-Silyl deprotection of 23 was then achieved upon treatment of 23 with HF$pyridine, giving 25 in quantitative yield and >99:1 dr. Tandem hydrogenolysis/reduction of 25 upon treatment with Pearlman’s catalyst [Pd(OH)2/C] under a hydrogen atmosphere (5 atm) gave (þ)-ADGDP, which was isolated as the corresponding dihydrochloride salt 26 in quantitative yield and >99:1 dr (Scheme 4). The spectroscopic data for 26 were also consistent with literature values {mp>170  C; lit.7p mp >150  C; [a]20 D þ33.2 (c 0.6, H2O); lit.7p [a]25 D þ43 (c 1.43, H2O)}.

3. Conclusion In conclusion, the ring-closing iodoamination of an enantiopure bishomoallylic amine provided an enantiopure pyrrolidine scaffold. Subsequent elaboration of the iodomethyl substituted pyrrolidine by either formation of the corresponding aziridinium ion followed by regioselective ring-opening with H2O, or direct displacement with NaN3 gave (þ)-DGDP and (þ)-ADGDP, respectively, in good yield after reduction/deprotection. 4.

was flame dried and cooled under nitrogen before use. Solvents were dried according to the procedure outlined by Grubbs and coworkers.20 Water was purified by an ElixÒ UVe10 system. BuLi was purchased as a solution in hexanes and titrated against diphenylacetic acid before use. All other reagents were used as supplied without prior purification. Organic layers were dried over MgSO4. Thin layer chromatography was performed on aluminium plates coated with 60 F254 silica. Plates were visualised using UV light (254 nm), iodine, 1% aq KMnO4, or 10% ethanolic phosphomolybdic acid. Flash column chromatography was performed on Kieselgel 60 silica. Melting points are uncorrected. Optical rotations were recorded in a water-jacketed 10 cm cell. Specific rotations are reported in 101 deg cm2 g1 and concentrations in g/100 mL. IR spectra were recorded using an ATR module. Selected characteristic peaks are reported in cm1. NMR spectra were recorded in the deuterated solvent stated. Spectra were recorded at rt. The field was locked by external referencing to the relevant deuteron resonance. 1He1H COSY, 1He13C HSQC, and 1He13C HMBC analyses were used to establish atom connectivity. Accurate mass measurements were run on a TOF spectrometer internally calibrated with polyalanine. 4.2.
