© 2019 Elsevier Ltd D-Fagomine (1,2,5-trideoxy-1,5-imino-d-arabino-hexitol), a naturally occurring polyhydroxylated piperidine (iminosugar), and its stereoisomers display important biological activities such as glycosidase inhibition. This review delineates both de novo asymmetric and enantiospecific syntheses of fagomine and its stereoisomers.
