Cyclophellitol [1L-(1, 3/2, 4, 5, 6)-4, 5-epoxy-6-(hydroxy-methyl)cyclohexane-1, 2, 3-triol], a β-glucosidase inhibitor, has been synthesized enantiospecifically from a naturally abundant cyclitol, L-quebrachitol (1L-2-O-methyl-chiro-inositol), via a Peterson olefination and an aluminum trichloride-tetrabutylammonium iodide mediated demethylation. 1991 Georg Thieme Verlag.All right reserved.
