epi-Inositol was synthesized in six steps in 40% overall yield from a bacterial bromobenzene metabolite. The chemoenzymatic route involved toluene dioxygenase oxidation, substrate-directed catalytic osmylation, m-CPBA epoxidation, radical debromination, and Amberlite-catalized hydrolysis. The route described is amenable to scaleup and could allow access to cis-inositol, and deoxy derivatives of epi-inositol. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
