Based on the NMR and X-ray analysis, the stereochemistry of homoDMDP at C-6 was confirmed to be consistent with reported data. Compounds en- 7 and en- 8 are general intermediates for the synthesis of a series of 6-C-alkylated DMDP-related natural products, such as broussonetine G, homoDMDP-7- O-apioside, homoDMDP-7- O-b-D-xyloside and so on. %K homo-DMDP %K broussonetine G %K homoDMDP-7-O-apioside %K glycosidase inhibitors %K cyclic nitrones %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/18/6/6723
