Cyclophellitol and cyclophellitol aziridine are potent and irreversible inhibitors of retaining β-glucosidases. They preferentially adopt a 4H3 half-chair conformation, thereby mimicking the substrate-transition-state conformation characteristic of retaining β-glucosidases. As a consequence, both compounds bind tightly to the enzyme active site, and attack of the catalytic nucleophile onto the epoxide/aziridine results in enzyme deactivation. Replacement of the epoxide oxygen in cyclophellitol by a (substituted) carbon yielded carba-cyclophellitols, a conceptually new class of inhibitors of retaining β-glucosidases, as we demonstrated in a recent communication. In this paper, in-depth synthetic studies of this class of compounds are described, and the preparation of a comprehensive set of structurally and configurationally new carba-cyclophellitols is presented.

Several synthetic strategies directed towards 5a-carbahexopyranoses and based on 6-endo-trig radical cyclization of unsaturated carbohydrate derivatives have been devised. Three elements for regiocontrol to optimize the 6-endo/5-exo ratio have been incorporated, and their efficiencies in directing 6-endo cyclizations have been evaluated. These elements - namely: i) the incorporation of a substituent at C-5 (radical numbering), ii) the use of a vinyl (rather than alkyl) radical, and iii) the inclusion of ring strain in the system - have proved useful when used in combination. The simultaneous presence of two of them also results in 6-endo selectivity. On another topic, the ozonation of the ensuing alkenylstananes to afford diols seems to be based on a tin-oxygen rearrangement, similar to that reported for related vinylsilanes, rather than on remarkable stabilities of tin-containing primary ozonides as we had previously suggested.
