The structurally similar enantiomeric additive was chosen by the scrutiny of previous experimental results on the crystallization of racemic 2,4-di-O-benzoyl-myo-inositol-1,3,5-orthoacetate. Form II crystals call be thermally transformed to form I crystals at about 145 degrees C. The relative organization of the molecules in these dimorphs vary slightly in terms of the helical assembly of molecules, that is, electrophile (El)center dot center dot center dot nucleophile (Nu) and C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions, but these minor variations have a profound effect on the facility and specificity of benzoyl-group-transfer reactivity in the two crystal forms. While form II crystals undergo a clean intermolecular benzoyl-group-transfer reaction, form I crystals are less reactive and undergo non-specific benzoyl-group transfer leading to a Mixture of products. The role played by the additive in fine-tuning small changes that are required in the molecular packing opens up the possibility of creating new polymorphs that show varied physical and chemical properties. Crystals of D-2.6-di-O-benzoyl-myo-inositol-1,3,5-orthoformate (additive) did not show facile benzoyl-group-transfer reactivity (in contrast to the corresponding racemic compound) due to the lack of proper juxtaposition and assembly of molecules.</p>10aAcylation10acarbohydrates10aCrystal growth10acyclitols10asolid-state reactions1 aMurali, Chebrolu1 aShashidhar, Mysore, S.1 aGonnade, Rajesh, G.1 aBhadbhade, Mohan, M.  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/enhancing-intermolecular-benzoyl-transfer-reactivity-crystals-growing-reactive-metastable-001738nas a2200241   4500008004100000022001400041245011700055210006900172260007700241300001200318520085800330653001401188653001801202653001401220653001301234653002201247653001301269653001301282100002101295700002301316700002701339856013001366       2010                        eng d  a1434-193X00aIntramolecular hydrogen abstraction in radicals derived from inositol 1,3-acetals: efficient access to cyclitols0 aIntramolecular hydrogen abstraction in radicals derived from ino  aPO BOX 10 11 61, D-69451 WEINHEIM, GERMANYbWILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBHcFEB  a755-7643 a<p>The benzylidene acetals obtained by cleavage of the orthobenzoate moiety in myo-mositol 1,3,5-orthobenzoate were used to prepare mono- as well as di-deoxy inositol derivatives via their xanthates. The dideoxygenation is a result of intramolecular abstraction of the benzylidene acetal hydrogen and subsequent cleavage of the acetal ring. Such a cleavage does not take place in analogous acetals derived from other orthoesters. The 1,3-acetals derived from myoinositol 1,3,5-orthoesters were also used to prepare neo-inositol and isomeric deoxy-amino inositols, Most of the reactions in these synthetic sequences starting from myo-inositol give one product in each step. The results presented here show that myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthobenzoate offers many advantages over other orthoesters for the synthesis of cyclitol derivatives from myo-inositol.</p>10acyclitols10aDeoxygenation10aInosamine10aInositol10aRadical reactions10aRadicals10aXanthate1 aMurali, Chebrolu1 aGurale, Bharat, P.1 aShashidhar, Mysore, S.  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/intramolecular-hydrogen-abstraction-radicals-derived-inositol-13-acetals-efficient-access-0
