General description

D-pinitol, commonly found conifers, is an isomer of L-quebrachitol.

Application

D-pinitol may be used as a starting material to prepare its azole nucleoside analogs. It may also be used in the preparation of 1D-1,5-dideoxy-1,5-difluoro-neo-inositol and 1D-1-deoxy-1-fluoro-myo-inositol.
Precursor to biologically active fluorinated isosteres of inositol, which show cell growth inhibitory properties. Has shown antidiabetic properties in mice. Believed to be a salt stress regulator in a wide range of plants.
