Abstract
A synthesis of the disaccharide recently isolated from jojoba beans, 2 -O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-D-chiro-inositol, has been achieved. The s uitably protected chiro-inositol unit was prepared by an enantiospecif ic synthesis from L-xylose utilizing SmI2-mediated pinacol coupling as a key step. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
