Versatile synthesis of myo-inositol phospholipid precursors

Abstract

Homochiral myo-inositol derivatives 16 and 20 and their corresponding enantiomers possessing either the natural or unnatural ring stereochemistry for inositol phospholipids are synthesised from myo-inositol derivatives 8 and 9 respectively using camphor dimethyl acetals in a resolution–protection sequence.
