S. Ballereau et al., SYNTHESIS OF XY-5,5-DIFLUORO-MYO-INOSITOL-1,2,6-TRIS(PHOSPHATE), Phosphorus, sulfur and silicon and the related elements, 128, 1997, pp. 139-146
y-5,5-difluoro-myo-inositol-1,2,6-tris(phosphate), a fluorinated analo
gue of alpha-trinositol, (D-myo-inositol-1,2,6-tris(phosphate)) was pr
epared from myo-inositol. After selective protection the remaining hyd
roxyl in position 5 was oxidized by a Swern type reaction and transfor
med in a gem-difluoro derivative by action of DAST. Phosphorylation pr
oceeded through an intermediate phosphite. Mild hydrogenolysis gave th
e expected final compound.
