Via combination of a novel acid-promoted rearrangement of acetal functionality with the controlled installation of the epoxide unit to create the pivotal epoxide intermediates in enantiomerically pure form, a simple, concise, flexible, and readily scalable enantiodivergent synthesis of (+)- and (-)-shikimic acids and (+)- and (-)-4-epi-shikimic acids has emerged. This simple strategy not only provides an efficient approach to shikimic acids but also can readily be adopted for the synthesis of (+)- and (-)-pinitols. These concise total syntheses exemplify the use of pivotal allylic epoxide 14 and its enantiomer ent-14. A readily available inexpensive C2-symmetric l-tartaric acid (7) served as key precursor. In general, the strategy here provides a neat example of the use of a four-carbon chiron and offers a good account of the synthesis of functionalized cyclohexane targets.

Inositol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.18) from Bacillus subtilis is shown to have a nonpolar cavity adjacent to the active site, allowing racemic protected inositol derivatives such as 4-O-benzyl-myo-inositol to be recognized with very high apparent stereoselectivity.

A new synthesis of (+)-pinitol 9 has been developed starting from the 7-oxanorbornenic sulfone (+)-5, prepared in enantiomerically pure form by resolution of the sulfonyl-7-oxanorbornanol 4. These precursors are available from the Diels-Alder adduct of furan and trans-1,2-bis-(phenylsulfonyl)-ethylene.
