Synthesis of mono- and di-hydroxylated prolines and 2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidines from non-carbohydrate precursors.
Natural and synthetic imino sugars are biologically important as glycosidase inhibitors. This review includes selected syntheses of 3-hydroxyproline, 4-hydroxyproline, 3,4-dihydroxyproline, 2-hydroxymethyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine and 2-hydroxymethyl-pyrrolidine-3,4-diol, which exhibit glycosidase inhibitory and various other biological activities.
