title: Enantioselective and protecting group-free synthesis of 1-deoxythionojirimycin, 1-deoxythiomannojirimycin, and 1-deoxythiotalonojirimycin.
abstract: 1-Deoxythioglyconojirimycins were synthesized by using a protecting group-free strategy, starting from readily available carbohydrates, in good overall yield. Use of benzyltriethylammonium tetrathiomolybdate, [BnEt(3)N](2)MoS(4), as a sulfur transfer reagent and borohydride exchange resin (BER) reduction of a lactone enabled the efficient synthesis of the title compounds.
