Abstract
Abstract An improved procedure for the preparation of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-myo-inositol is described. Racemic 1,4-di-O-benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-myo-inositol was prepared by tinmediated benzylation of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-myo-inositol and resolved readily by crystallisation of the ω-camphanates. The use of the chiral 1,4-di-O-benzyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-myo-inositols as intermediates for the preparation of other chiral derivatives of myo-inositol was investigated.
