Th. Kim et al., Ring closing metathesis of a 4,6-diallyl-myo-inositol orthoformate as a model for an inositol cyclopolymer, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 2000, pp. 2421-2422
Ring closing metathesis (RCM) of the diallyl inositol derivative 5 gave the
product 6 which after cleavage of the orthoester served as a model for ass
ignment of the preferred conformation of the analogous deprotected inositol
cyclopolymer 3.
