N2  - Methyl &#945;- and &#946;-D-galactopyranoside have been converted into methyl 4,6-di-O-benzyl-2,3-dideoxy-&#945;- and -&#946;-D-threo-hexoside , and subsequent treatment with ethanedithiol gives the same alcohol. Tosylation and azide displacement gives, after hydrolysis, an azido aldehyde which is transformed under reducing conditions into the title piperidine . The synthetic piperidine is an ineffective inhibitor of &#945;-D- mannosidase.
