A much shorter synthesis of 1 is illustrated in Scheme 2. Fuculose-l-phosphate aldolase [*] was used to catalyze the aldol reaction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)[91 and aldehyde 12. After dephosphorylation the aldol product was converted into 1 by reductive amination. Inhibition analysis [41 of 1 against a-galactosidase from coffee bean at pH 5.5 indicated a competitive type of inhibition with K,= 5 x M. To our knowledge, this is the best pyrrolidine inhibitor of a-galactosidase known to date. It appears that the stereocenters at the 2-and 4-positions are very critical. A marked decrease of inhibition activity was observed when either one of these two centers was inverted. Since pyrrolidines exist in an envelope conformation, as shown by the X-ray structure of 2 (an inhibitor of a-glucosidase, Ki= 2.8 pM Fig. 2), compound 1 may mimic the Conformation and charge distribution of the transition state structure fur the cleavage of the glycosidic bond (Fig. 3). It is noted, however, that 1 binds the enzyme less
