Abstract

An enantiomer of nabscessin A (1), an aminocyclitol amide with antimicrobial activity, was synthesized from myo-inositol and dimethyl d-camphor acetal in 14 steps. Formal synthesis of natural nabscessin A was also achieved through the new approach to access both enantiomers of 4,5-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol, derived from the same set of starting materials. This synthesis features utilizations of the existing framework of myo-inositol and a regioselective esterification.
