The crystal structure of (+/-)-1,2;4,5-di-O-cyclohexylidene myo-inosit
ol, refined to R=2.9%, shows interestingly disordered (flip-flop) hydr
ogen bonding. The higher reactivity of the 1/3 positions (rather than
4/6) has been evaluated using semi-empirical calculations. This diol h
as been phosphorylated with ,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-1,3,2-oxazaphospholid
in-2-one and the diastereoisomer derived from phosphorylation at the 3
-position was isolated by crystallisation, Deprotection with TFA/H2O t
hen H-2/Pd-C afforded myo-inositol 3-phosphate in only four steps from
myo-inositol. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
