Unified total syntheses of the inositol polyphosphates: D-I-3,5,6P3, D-I-3,4,5P3, D-I-3,4,6P3, and D-I-3,4,5,6P4 via catalytic enantioselective and site-selective phosphorylation.
Synthetic routes to various inositol polyphosphates have been discovered utilizing catalytic enantioselective and site-selective phosphorylation reactions. The syntheses described herein exploit a common intermediate to gain efficient access to eight unique inositol polyphosphates.
