The D-gluco-isoquinuclidines 3 and 4 were prepared and tested as inhibitors of the β-glucosidases from Caldocellum saccharolyticum and from sweet almonds; the results are compared to the inhibition of snail β-mannosidase by the D-manno-isoquinuclidines 1

An asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-epibatidine (1), isolated from the skin of the Ecuadorian poison frog, Epipedobates tricolor, of the family Dendrobatidae, has been achieved by virtue of the development of asymmetric hereto Diels-Alder (D-A) cycloaddition with an N-acylnitroso dienophile bearing the optically active 8-arylmenthol as a chiral source. Thus, in situ oxidation of the hydroxamic acid ent-12f incorporating the (1S,2R,5S)-8-(2- naphthyl)menthyl auxiliary was performed using the Swern conditions to produce the acylnitroso dienophile, which reacted at once with 2-chloro-5- (1,5-cyclohexadienyl)pyridine (7) to provide the (1S,4R)-meta-aza cycloadduct 24 as a major diastereoisomer. The observed facial diastereoselectivity is consistent with a transition-state model with the naphthyl group in 'stacked' position and with the acylnitroso group in the s-cis conformation, wherein π attractive interaction between the naphthyl and nitrosocarbonyl groups may contribute to facial control. Compound 24 underwent hydrogenation followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary with LiH2NBH3 and reductive cleavage of the N-O bond with Mo(CO)6 to give the amino alcohol derivative 29, which was converted to (-)-epibatidine via bromination followed by cyclization.
