Abstract: Amide group reduction in monosaccharide derivative 2,3-epoxyamides were accomplished with a combination of two reagents: RedAl and NaBH4, successively added at 0ºC, without affecting the epoxide group. The obtained epoxyalcohols could be regioselectively opened at the vicinal carbon to the hydroxymethyl group, by NaN3/Me3B without detection of another azido isomer.
