Process for the preparation of castanospermine esters

1-Esters of castanospermine have been prepared enzymatically from appropriate activated esters using subtilisin. The esters obtained in this way can be further reacted enzymatically to give diesters which can, in turn, be selectively hydrolyzed to give monoesters in good yield.
