title: Asymmetric synthesis of 1-deoxyazasugars from chiral aziridines.
abstract: A general and facile synthesis of enantiopure 1-deoxyazasugars was achieved from stereoselective dihydroxylation of a common synthetic intermediate, piperidine ring fused oxazolidin-2-one, originating from a commercially available starting substrate, chiral aziridine-2-carboxylate, in high yields.
