Several N-substituted analogues of noeuromycin((2RS,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-hydroxymethylpiperidine) and isofagomine((3R,4R,5R)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-hydroxymethylpiperidine) were synthesised. The isofagomine analogues(3RS,4RS,5RS)-N-(2-phosphonoethyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-piperidine,(3SR,4SR,5RS)-N-(2-phosphonoethyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-hydroxy-methylpiperidine, and(3R,4R,5R)-N-(10-chloro-9-anthracenemethyl)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-hydroxy-methylpiperidine were synthesised by direct alkylation of the corresponding azasugar. N-Substituted noeuromycin derivatives could not be made in this straightforward manner, but were made by modification of a synthesis intermediate. By this method(2RS,3S,4R,5R)-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-hydroxymethylpiperidine and(2RS,3S,4R,5R)-N-nonyl-2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-hydroxymethylpiperidine were synthesised. The stability of noeuromycin was studied and was found to depend on stereochemistry and pH. The L-fuco isomer((2RS,3R,4R,5R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-methylpiperidine) was observed to undergo a particularly facile Amadori rearrangement at neutral pH to the 3-ketopiperidine. A noeuromycin analogue, that could not undergo the Amadori rearrangement, was synthesised. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
