A carbohydrate-based strategy for the total synthesis of verbalactone has been described. (3R,5R)-3,5-dihydroxydecanoic acid was dimerised under Yamaguchi conditions to provide verbalactone in an overall yield of 17\% starting from 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidine-alpha-D-glucofuranose.

A concise synthesis of two diastereomers of (+)-castanospermine namely 1- and 8a-epi-castanospermine 1b and 1c, respectively, is reported from D-glucose. The methodology involves stereoselective cross metathesis of D-glucose derived alkene 2 with 4-bromo-1-butene followed by azide displacement and m-CPBA oxidation to afford diastereomeric gamma,delta-epoxyazides 5a/5b. The Staudinger reaction of epoxyazide 5a followed by reaction with benzylchloroformate (CbzCl) unexpectedly furnished 1,3-oxazinan-2-one derivative 7 whose stereochemistry was establish by single crystal X-ray. This helps to assign the stereochemistry in the epoxidation reaction. The reduction of 5a/5b was then carried out by transfer hydrogenation to provide gamma,delta-epoxyamine that concomitantly undergoes intramolecular 5-endo-tet cyclization to afford hydroxypyrrolidine ring skeleton with sugar framework-a precursor to castanospermine analogues 1b/1c.

Hydroxyethylamine (HEA) isosteres have previously been shown to display a multitude of biomedical applications. In fact, the first protease inhibitor, saquinavir is an HEA based peptidomimetic. Herein we describe an easy-to-operate synthetic route to a series of carbohydrate-based conformationally constrained hydroxyethylamine (HEA) isosteres featuring amino acid side chains, starting from D-glucose. This class of novel sugar-amino acid-tethered conformationally restricted HEA systems may have bearing in practical application, particularly in the development of conformationally restricted protease inhibitors.
