Tear down the wall : Ready methods for the construction of libraries of both α‐ and β‐aza‐ C ‐rhamnomimetics with high levels of diastereoselectivity have allowed the identification of inhibitors of rhamnosyl‐processing enzymes. These include the first examples of analogues of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis sugar L ‐rhamnose that are inhibitors of mycobacterial biosynthetic pathways.
