A facile synthesis of a new trihydroxy piperidine derivative and (+)-proto-quercitol from D-(-)-quinic acid
We described herein the new synthesis of a trihydroxy piperidine derivative (1,4,5-trideoxy-1,5-imino-D-ribo-hexitol) and (+)-proto-quercitol from D-(-)-quinic acid, both are considered as inhibitors for glycosidases.
