A highly practicable synthesis of both enantiomers of 3-hydroxypipecolic acid derivatives 1, 2, 3, 4 is described. Screening of these molecules for glycosidase inhibition has been examined. Compound 3 was shown to be a potent inhibitor of beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase as well as Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase.
