ChemInform Abstract
The acylation of myo-inositol orthoformate (I) is investigated. Using benzoyl chloride (II) as acylating agent and pyridine as solvent and base results in selective reaction at the equatorial hydroxyl. Benzoic anhydride in DMF/Et3N allows a highly regioselective acylation of the axial hydroxyl.
