After separating the crude reaction mixture from the nickel, scyllitol is selectively converted to scyllitol diborate by treatment with sodium tetraborate at 80-90° C. and pH 9-10. Scyllitol diborate is then crystallized by cooling and is isolated in 17-20% yield and >99% HPLC purity (AUC). All six batches of diborate proceeded as expected (Table 1). The isomerization reactions required 2-3 hours to heat to 95-100° C. and each were sampled for analysis after 1, 2, and 3 hours. All five reactions resulted in myo/scyllo ratios of 2-3:1 (typical) by 1H NMR and all but one batch resulted in >20% AUC (HPLC Analysis) scyllo-inositol (Table 2). The diborate formations resulted in myo/scyllo ratios of >60:1 (typical) by 1H NMR (Table 2) within one hour and the subsequent crystallizations were allowed to proceed over 14-16 hours (overnight). The resulting diborate slurries filtered very fast and were isolated as large white crystals. The diborate filter cakes were found to have consistent 1H NMR spectra, HPLC purities of 98.7%-99.2% AUC and moisture levels of 46.8%-56.4%. Nickel and aluminum analysis revealed levels ranging from <1 ppm to 17 ppm for nickel and <1 ppm to 28 ppm for aluminum. The yields corrected for moisture content ranged from 17.1% to 20.3%.
