A short synthesis of new beta-1-C-alkyl-1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-l-iditols by means of the diastereoselective addition of Grignard reagents onto a glucopyranosylamine is described. These compounds were evaluated as beta-glucocerebrosidase inhibitors and their activity was compared with that of related iminosugar derivatives in the

[reaction: see text] Reaction of hindered lithium amides with readily available (enantiopure) terminal epoxides gives 2-ene-1,4-diols via carbenoid dimerization of the corresponding alpha-lithiated epoxides. D-Mannitol and D-iditol were synthesized using this method in three steps from (S)-tritylglycidyl ether.
