The key step in the syntheses of highly substituted trans-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidines is introduction of bromide by stereospecific and regiospecific Hanessian-Hullar reactions; benzylidene lactones of l-rhamnonolactone and 6-deoxy-this should be small unnpercase d not l why can I not correct this-gulonolactone allow introduction of N at C2 with inversion or retention of configuration. Initially a protecting group, the benzylidene acetal then provides a bromide at C5 to allow formation of the pyrrolidine ring. With silyl protecting groups, bromide was introduced at C5 with inversion of configuration whereas benzoyl protection gave a mixture of retention and inversion, indicative of neighbouring group participation in a Hanessian-Hullar reaction. Four stereoisomeric pyrrolidines - iminosugar mimics of α- and β-l-rhamnulose and α- and β-6-deoxy-d-sorbose were prepared. Only the α-l-rhamnulose mimic showed moderate inhibition of rhamnosidase but some were good inhibitors of α-glucosidases; none inhibited rhamnose isomerase and they had a small effect as synthetic inducers of the rhamnose catabolic operon in E. coli.
