A facile new synthesis of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin (1) [1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-D-galactitol] is described. The L-sorbose derivative (15) is epimerised at C-3 and converted, via the L-tagatofuranose (18) into the deoxyazide (20). Reduction of azide (20) and deprotection affords 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin (1).
