Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)00298-5

'β-Adiposin-2', the 6''-hydroxylated derivative of 'β-acarbose', itself a diastereoisomer of the naturally occurring acarbose, has been prepared from a 1-epivalienamine derivative, 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-2-O-benzyl-β-D-galactose and benzyl 2,3,6,2',3',6'-hexo-O-benzyl-β-cellobioside.
