SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE MYO-INOSITOL DERIVATIVES STARTING FROM PHYTIC ACID

摘要

Phytic acid treated with Baker's yeast gave D-myo-inositol-1,2,6-tris(phosphate) (alpha-trinositol) which was transformed into (+)-D-1,2-O-isopropylidene-myo-inositol and (-)-D-3,4,5-tri-O-benzyl-myo-inositol, two key intermediates in the synthesis of optically active myo-inositol derivatives and related compounds.
