title: Metal trifluoromethanesulfonate-catalyzed regioselective acylation of myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate.
abstract: A highly regioselective acylation of myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate at the 4-O/6-O positions is catalyzed by various metal trifluoromethanesulfonates, giving excellent yields; an asymmetric example using (-)-camphanic anhydride is described here.
