Synthesis of 1L-1, 2-Dideoxy-1, 2-epithio-myo-inositol through a 1L-1, 2-Anhydro-3, 4:5, 6-bis-O-(tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1, 3-diyl)-myo-inositol intermediate

This research attempted to develop inositol derivatives that could potentially be used as drugs to inhibit a variety of cellular functions. The main emphasis of this research revolved around the formation of an episulfide myoz-inositol derivative through an epoxide intermediate. Other procedures were carried out for the attempted formation of conduritol B and for a nitrogen analogue of myo-inositol.
