A method for the preparation of benzene derivatives from myo-inositol, an abundantly available phyto chemical is described. 1,3-Bridged acetals of inososes undergo step-wise elimination leading to the formation of polyoxygenated benzene derivatives. This aromatization reaction proceeds through the intermediacy of a β-alkoxyenone, which could be isolated. This sequence of reactions starting from myo-inositol, provides a novel route for the preparation of polyoxygenated benzene derivatives including polyoxygenated biphenyl. This scheme of synthesis demonstrates the potential of myo-inositol as a sustainable non-petrochemical resource for aromatic compounds.
