Synthesis of α-trinositol analogues derived from D-(-)-quinic acid as affinity probe precursors

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1997-3205

D-(-)-Quinic acid was appropriately protected to permit the phosphorylation of the three vicinal hydroxyl groups. Final deprotection lead to tris(phosphates) possessing the same configuration as the parent α-trinositol and an arm suitable for the attachement of a photoactivable group.
