S. Iacobucci et M. Dalarcao, A SIMPLE SYNTHESIS OF D-MYO-INOSITOL 4-PHOSPHATE AND D-MYO-INOSITOL 6-PHOSPHATE, Synthetic communications, 24(6), 1994, pp. 809-817
A simple synthesis of the title compounds from myo-inositol is reporte
d. The procedure involves the regioselective dibutyltin oxide-promoted
acylation of racemic 1,2:5,6-dicyclohexylidene-myo-inositol (2) with
1-(S)-(-)-camphanyl chloride followed by chromatographic separation of
the resulting diastereomers.
