Regioselective functionalization of unprotected myo-inositol by electrophilic substitution
Unprotected myo-inositol was treated with various electrophiles, such as aroyl chlorides, tosyl chloride and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride in a solution of LiCl/DMA or DMSO to afford regioselectively 1,3-di-O-substituted or racemic 1-O-substituted deri
