[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.

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

We have undertaken an analysis of the inositol phosphates of Spirodela polyrhiza at a developmental stage when massive accumulation of InsP6 indicates that a large net synthesis is occurring. We have identified Ins3P, Ins(1,4)P2, Ins(3,4)P2 and possibly Ins(4,6)P2, Ins(3,4,6)P3, Ins(3,4,5,6)P4
