A synthesis of the disaccharide recently isolated from jojoba beans, 2-O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-D-chiro-inositol, has been achieved. The suitably protected chiro-inositol unit was prepared by an enantiospecific synthesis from L-xylose utilizing SmI2-mediated pinacol coupling as a key step. Copyright (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
