A pinacol coupling approach to N-heterocycles : synthesis of iminosugars

A series of 5-8 membered N-heterocyclic diols have been prepared from dicarbonyls (shown below), via intramolecular pinacol reactions. The cis- or trans-stereoselectivity of these reactions is controlled by judicious choice of the low-valent metal reagent employed. The diastereoselectivity of the pi...
