Ozonolysis of C-allyl nojirimycin 5 furnished aldehyde 6; ensuing Wittig-Horner reaction with glycine derived phosphonate 9 afforded α-acylaminoacrylate 10. Concomitant hydrogenation of the C=C double bond and hydrogenolytic cleavage of the benzyloxycarbonyl protective group gave mainly the desired nojirimycinyl C-(l)-serine derivative (l)-11, which was transformed into suitable building blocks for the synthesis of novel glycopeptides. The configuration of (l)-11 was assigned with the help of the Dale-Mosher method.
