title: A rapid synthesis of hexofuranose-like iminosugars using ring-closing metathesis.
abstract: Two new 1-N-iminosugars have been prepared as hexofuranose analogues in an efficient manner by an RCM-based route. Both 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidines display moderate inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis galactan biosynthesis. [structure: see text]
