✦ Synopsis


A new and efficient route to (-)-(1R,2R,4R,6S)-l,6-epoxy-4-benzyloxycyclohexan-2-ol is described starting from (-)-quinic acid. The pivotal step involves a La3+-induced reversal of the diastet~eoselectivity for the borchydride reduction of an imm'medi~ cyclnhexan-4-one. (IR,2R,4R,6R)-6-Propyloxycyclobexan-1,2,4-triol 1-phosphate, predicted to be a submicromolar inhibitor of inositol m(mot0hospimfase, was pccparcd from tbe epoxide in 20~ yield and displayed the expected imemcy.
