Ring closing metathesis of a 4,6-diallyl-myo-inositol orthoformate as a model for an inositol cyclopolymer
Abstract
Ring closing metathesis (RCM) of the diallyl inositol derivative 5 gave the product 6 which after cleavage of the orthoester served as a model for assignment of the preferred conformation of the analogous deprotected inositol cyclopolymer 3.
