Abstract

The regio- and stereospecific synthesis of dl-4,5-dibromo-4,5-dideoxy-3,6-O-methyl-chiro-inositol is reported. Bromination of p-benzoquinone followed by reduction of the carbonyl groups with NaBH4 gave the corresponding trans-dibromodiol compound, which was reacted with sodium methoxide to produce dimethoxy conduritol-B. Regiospecific bromination of the alkene moiety furnished the desired chiro-inositol derivative.
