Synthesis of 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino- d-galactitol from l-sorbose

A facile new synthesis of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin ( 1) [1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino- d-galactitol] is described. The l-sorbose derivative ( 15) is epimerised at C-3 and converted, via the l-tagatofuranose ( 18) into the deoxyazide ( 20). Reduction of azide ( 20) and deprotection affords 1-deoxygalactono...
