Abstract

A straightforward synthesis of l-chiro-inositol, deoxy l-chiro-inositol derivatives and l-chiro-inositol building blocks for the preparation of inositolphosphoglycans, is reported from myo-inositol. Glycosylation with 2-azido-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate gave the corresponding pseudodisaccharide derivatives.

(-)2-Deoxy-scyllo-inosose (5). To a solution of 3,4,5,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-O-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-l-myo-inositol (4, 105 mg, 0.156 mmol), in a mixture of dry toluene and DMF (1/1, 5 mL), cesium trifluoracetate (192 mg, 0.781 mmol) and a catalytic amount of DMAP, were added. After 48 h at room temperature, the resulting slurry was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The solvent was evaporated and the residue purified by flash chromatography (hexane/EtOAc, 4:1), to give 81 mg (0.155 mmol, 100%). [α]D -22.0° (c= 0.5, CHCl3). Anal.
