## Abstract L‐Glucose derivatives are prepared by two different routes. The first involves a modification of the previously reported multi‐step approach by __Shiozaki__^8^, starting from a D‐glucurono‐1,5‐lactone derivative, resulting in the isolation of 2,3,4,6‐tetra‐__O__‐benzyl‐L‐glucopyranose.

Abstract
A total synthesis of L‐(+)‐swainsonine, a potent and specific inhibitor of naringinase, along with the syntheses of six unnatural indolizidine azasugars are reported by starting from D‐glucose. L‐(+)‐Swainsonine was synthesized in 14 steps in 17 % overall yield. Further, two of the indolizidine analogues were found to be good glycosidase inhibitors at micromolar concentrations. In all of these syntheses, the key step was an intramolecular S~N~2 reaction. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
