<i>N</i>-Octyl-β-valienamine (NOV) 1 and <i>N</i>-octyl-4-<i>epi</i>-β-valienamine (NOEV) 2 are potent chemical chaperone drug candidates for the therapy of lysosomal storage disorders. Novel stereoselective syntheses of NOV 1 and NOEV 2 starting from naturally abundant (-)-shikimic acid are described in this article. The common key intermediate compound 5 was first synthesized from readily available (-)-shikimic acid <i>via</i> 9 steps in 50% yield. Compound 5 was then converted to NOV 1<i>via< ...[more]
