4-azido-4-deoxy-2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-D-mannopyranoside is a key intermediate in the syntheses of the α-mannosidase inhibitors, swainsonine and 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-mannitol, and of the α-galactosidase inhibitor 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-lyxitol, from mannose.
ENANTIOSPECIFIC SYNTHESIS OF SWAINSONINE, (1S, 2R, 8R, 8aR)-1,2,8-TRIHYDROXYOCTAHYDROINDOLIZINE, FROM D-MANNOSE

An enantiospecific synthesis of swainsonine from D-mannose is described; the heterocyclic rings of swainsonine are constructed by two intramolecular reductive aminations caused by the catalytic hydrogenation of an azidoaldehyde with 5 equivalents of hydrogen.
