Optical resolution of racemic myo-inositol derivatives into enantiomers for the synthesis of inositol-containing phospholipids with natural structures

Abstract

Methods for resolution (splitting) of racemic myo-inositol derivatives into optical antipods via formation of diastereomeric compounds with carbohydrates are reviewed.
