Michael additions between carbohydrate derived nitroalkenes and several aliphatic and aromatic amines proceeded in a stereoselective way, leading to peracetylated 2-amino-1,2-dideoxy-1-nitro-heptitols. In addition, the antiproliferative activity of some of the new adducts has been studied. The results allowed to identify lead compounds which show GI50 values in the range 1.7-19μM.
