Cyclit-Reaktionen, IX. Synthese von 1L-1-Desoxy-1-C-hydroxymethyl-myo-inosit und 1L-1-Desoxy-1-C-hydroxymethyl-chiro-inosit

Cyclitol Reactions, IX. – Synthesis of 1 L ‐1‐Deoxy‐1‐ C ‐hydroxymethyl‐ myo ‐inositol and 1 L ‐1‐Deoxy‐1‐ C ‐hydroxymethyl‐ chiro ‐inositol Hydroboration of the exo ‐methylene compound 3 with disiamylborane leads to the alcohols 4 and 6 . Removal of the protective groups results in the enantiomerically pure, branched‐chain (hydroxymethyl)inositols having 1 L ‐ myo configuration and 1 L ‐ chiro configuration, respectively.
