Key steps include an enantioselective reduction with catecholborane/(S)-2-methyl-CBS-oxazaborolidine, and a stereo-selective pseudo-glycosylation of lithium azide by a cyclic sulfite ester. The title compound showed a K-i = 21 mu M when evaluated against the N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase from Streptomyces plicatus.},
