Site-selective benzoin-type cyclization of unsymmetrical dialdoses catalyzed by N-heterocyclic carbenes for divergent cyclitol synthesis

A highly site-selective N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed benzoin-type cyclization of unsymmetrical dialdoses is developed to enable a divergent cyclitol synthesis. The choice of chiral NHCs and protecting groups affects the site-selectivity. The resulting inososes are converted into epi-, muco- and myo-inositols, and their chiral protected derivatives are formed in good yields.

Stereoselective synthesis of myo-, neo-, L-chiro, D-chiro, allo-, scyllo-, and epi-inositol systems via conduritols prepared from p-benzoquinone

A practical route is described for the flexible preparation of a wide variety of inositol stereoisomers and their polyphosphates. The potential of this approach is demonstrated by the synthesis of myo-, L-chiro-, D-chiro-, epi-, scyllo-, allo-, and neo-inositol systems. Optically pure compounds in either enantiomeric form can be prepared from p-benzoquinone via enzymatic resolution of a derived conduritol B key intermediate. High-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection permits inositol stereoisomers to be resolved and detected with high sensitivity. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Catalytic One-Pot Osmylation of Cyclohexadienes: Stereochemical and Conformational Studies of the Resulting Polyols

Catalytic double osmylation is described for a series of cyclohexadienes in acetone/H2O in the presence of the co-oxidant N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMO).The formation of polyols occurred stereospecifically with cyclohexadienes 3, 7, and 11a, leading thereby to tetrols 5a, and 9a and to allo-inositol (14a), respectively.To the contrary, trans-cyclohexadiene-diol 15a gave a mixture of the stereoisomeric inositols 18a (epi), 19a (neo), and 20a (chiro).High-field NMR let to clearcut conformational analyses of the polyhydroxylated derivatives.
