Abstract
Iminosugars continue receiving a great deal of attention from chemists and biochemists for their potential as pharmaceutics. This is a comprehensive review of the methods found in the literature for the synthesis of piperidine, pyrrolidine, indolizidine, and pirrolizidine iminosugars, starting from D/L-erythrose and D/L-threose carbon chains (tetroses). This review shows the crescent popularity of small molecules to build up iminosugar molecules. Methodologies described herein utilize inexpensive commercial materials. The synthesis of the four tetroses is included referring old and modern methodologies.
Keywords: Erythose, indolizidines, piperidines, pyrrolidines, pyrrolizidines, threose.

Exploring the Role of Chemical Graph Theory in Advancing Current Organic Synthesis
Organic synthesis is a fundamental discipline in chemistry, crucial for the creation of complex molecules with diverse applications in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and beyond. However, the process of designing efficient synthetic routes for target molecules remains challenging. Chemical graph theory, a branch of theoretical chemistry, offers powerful tools for understanding ...read more
