Abstract
THE synthesis of cyclitol glycosides is of interest because of the natural occurrence of these substances as such (galactinol) and as structural moieties of several antibiotics and phospholipids1,2. In this laboratory, attempts have been made to couple activated forms of glucose with protected derivatives3 of myo-inosamine-2 and, more recently, (+)-pinitol. The former efforts were unsuccessful; but the latter provided a glucoside (V) of pinitol in fair yield.
