Abstract
Abstract N- Benzyl -3,4- di -O- benzyl-1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino- d -glucitol and l -gulitol undergo easy isomerization, mainly either by ring contraction, or either by SN 2 inversion at C2. This isomerization performed by bis-hydroxyl activation allows to access to 2,5-dideoxy-2,5-imino- l -iditol, 5-epi-DNJ, DMDP, and DMJ.
