13. Conclusions We have found a novel Pd(II)-catalysed halocyclisation and/or bicyclisation We have found a novel Pd(II)-catalysed halocyclisation and/or bicyclisation of aminoalkenitols providing chloromethyl-piperidines and/or oxa- of aminoalkenitols providing chloromethyl-piperidines and/or oxa- azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes We have postulated the reaction mechanism explaining the observed We have postulated the reaction mechanism explaining the observed chemoselectivity chemoselectivity Both transformations were developed into effective synthetic methodologies Both transformations were developed into effective synthetic methodologies that were successfully employed in the total synthesis of new analogues of that were successfully employed in the total synthesis of new analogues of glycosidase inhibitor 1-deoxynojirimycin glycosidase inhibitor 1-deoxynojirimycin
