Abstract

The straightforward synthesis of monofluorinated isofagomine analogues 1-3 was described. The synthetic strategy featured that the chiral carbon center bearing fluorine atom was constructed stereoselectively via silicon-induced Reformatskii-Claisen rearrangement of allyl bromofluoroacetate. These compounds were tested for inhibition of five glycosidases. The 3S,4R,5R isomer 3 has been found to be a potent inhibitor against β-glucosidase from almonds with Ki value of 11.9 μM.
