The inosose derivative 3 was obtained with high stereoselectivity by intramolecular aldol condensation of the aldohexos-5-ulose derivative 2, and it was selectively reduced and debenzylated to give epi-inositol in high yield. The stereochemistry and the preferred conformations of compounds 3-7 were determined through 1D and 2D NMR experiments. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
