title: Regioselective hydrolysis of myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthobenzoate via a 1,2-bridged 2'-phenyl-1',3'-dioxolan-2'-ylium ion provides a rapid route to the anticancer agent Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5.
abstract: Acid hydrolysis of myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthobenzoate leads regioselectively to 2-O-benzoyl-myo-inositol via a 1,2-bridged 2'-phenyl-1',3'-dioxolan-2'-ylium ion observed by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, providing the precursor for a highly efficient route to the anticancer agent myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate.
