✦ Synopsis
Two C2-symmetrical bis-epoxides were prepared from/2-mannitol and were subjected to nucleophilic displacements with allylamine and benzylamine. Initial intermolecular epoxide opening, followed by a preferred intramolecular 7-endo-tetragol cyclization, afforded protected polyhydroxyazepanes as major products. Compound 15 was found to inhibit seven different glycosidases with K i in the micromolar range.

Enantiopure C2-symmetric bis(cyclic isothioureas), considered as potent inhibitors of glycosidases, have been synthesized from D-mannitol. The key step involved a mercuriccatalyzed transformation of a cyclic 1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione into a 2-N-tert-butylamino-1,3thiazoline.
