Transformation of D-glucose into 1D-3-deoxy-3-hydroxymethyl-myo-inositol by stereocontrolled intramolecular Henry reaction.
[reaction: see text] An intramolecular Henry cyclization provides a promising new strategy for the transformation of nitroheptofuranoses into deoxyhydroxymethylinositols. This method has allowed a stereospecific transformation of d-glucose into 1D-3-deoxy-3-hydroxymethyl-myo-inositol.
