Enantio- and Diastereodivergent Synthetic Route to Multifarious Cyclitols from D-Xylose via Ring-Closing Metathesis.
Short stereoselective syntheses of various cyclitols, including the derivatives of conduritol B, conduritol F, myo-inositol and chiro-inositol, have been accomplished. The key steps in the syntheses are a ring-closing metathesis process and a diastereodivergent organometallic addition to a D-xylose-derived alde-hyde.
