Abstract
Abstract Two optically active inositol epoxides have been synthesised as potential glycosidase inhibitors. 1 L -1,2-Anhydro- myo -inositol was prepared from 1 L -1- O -toluene- p -sulphonyl- chiro -inositol and 1 L -1,2-anhydro- chiro -inositol was prepared from 1 L -1- O -toluene- p -sulphonyl- myo -inositol in good yield and without epoxide migration. DL -1,2-Anhydro- chiro -inositol was also prepared, by a novel route. The anhydroinositols were given preliminary tests for biological activity.
