title: The preparation and phosphorylation of 2,5- and 1D-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol.
abstract: 1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-allyl-myo-inositol was converted into the 2,5-di-O-benzyl- and 2,5-di-O-p-methoxybenzyl ethers, and the products were deallylated to give the 2,5-di-O-benzyl (and p-methoxybenzyl) ethers of myo-inositol, which were converted into the mono-O-isopropylidene derivatives. Both the 2,5-di-O-benzyl ether and its mono-O-isopropylidene derivative were converted into the crystalline octa(2-cyanoethyl) ester of 2,5-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate. (+-)-1,3,4,5-Tetra-O-allyl-myo-inositol was converted into (+-)-2,4-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol which gave a separable mixture of the 1,6- and 5,6-O-isopropylidene derivatives. The 1,6-O-isopropylidene derivative was resolved via (-)- and (+)-omega-camphanates and was also converted into (+-)-2,6-di-O-benzyl-1,5-di-O-p-methoxybenzyl-myo-inositol, which was resolved via the (-)-omega-camphanates. The 5,6-O-isopropylidene derivative and 1,3-di-O-allyl-myo-inositol were converted into (+-)-1,3-di-O-allyl-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol, which was resolved as the (-)-omega-camphanates. 1D-1,3,4,5-Tetra-O-allyl-myo-inositol and the above described, relevant diaste reoisomers were converted into 1D-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol which gave the syrupy octabenzyl ester of 1D-2,6-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate.
