A facile and high yielding synthesis of epi-inositol via stereoselective reduction of a pentaprotected epi-inosose is reported. Extent of stereoselectivity during the hydride reduction appears to depend on the ability of the substrate to complex with metal ions in the reducing agent.

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.
