Four aminocyclopentanols, as mimics of putative intermediates in the hydrolysis of alpha-d-galactosides, have been synthesized through a number of stereoselective transformations using the cis-fused cyclopentane-1,4-lactone (1R, 5S, 7R, 8R)-7,8-dihydroxy-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-3-one as a chiral building block. The compounds were tested towards various

The three-component coupling of Mg acetylides, silyl glyoxylates, and nitroalkenes results in a highly diastereoselective Kuwajima-Reich/vinylogous Michael cascade that provides tetrasubstituted silyloxyallene products. The regio- and diastereoselectivity were studied using DFT calculations. These silyloxyallenes were converted to cyclopentenols and cyclopentitols

[reaction: see text] (1S,2S,3S,4R,5R)-4-amino-5-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentane-1,2,3-triol 1 is prepared stereoselectively from D-lyxose and displays anomer-selective inhibition for beta-galactosidase (Ki = 3.0 x 10(-6) M) and beta-glucosidase (Ki = 1.5 x 10(-7) M), over alpha-galactosidase (Ki = 2.3 x 10(-5) M) and alpha-glucosidase

Radioiododestannylations was employed to prepare a series of four specifically labeled thienyl alcohols: 1-(5-iodo-2-thienyl)-cyclopentan-1-ol and -cyclohexan-1-ol; 17 alpha-(5-iodo-2-thienyl)-17 beta-estradiol and -estradiol-3-O-methyl ether. The method utilized 5-(trimethylstannyl)thienyl intermediates which had been prepared in good yields from 2,5-bis(trimethylstannyl)thiophene and the appropriate cyclic
