Common-intermediate strategy for synthesis of conduritols and inositols via beta-hydroxy cyclohexenylsilanes.
[reaction: see text] Syntheses of conduritols B-D and F and d-(+)-chiro- and neo-inositols from cyclohexenylsilane intermediates are described. The key cyclohexylsilane intermediates 5 and 14 were synthesized by stereoselective olefin dihydroxylation of the corresponding cyclohexenylsilanes. Selective Peterson elimination reactions and Fleming-Tamao oxidations of 5 and 14 then delivered the targeted cyclitol derivatives.
