Biocatalytic synthesis of chiral polyoxygenated compounds: Modulation of the selectivity upon changes in the experimental conditions
Herradon,Valverde
, p. 1479 - 1500 (1994)
Derivatives of both enantiomers of butane-1,2,4-triol have been obtained through a transesterification reaction catalyzed by Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (PFL) in organic solvents. The influence of the solvent on the enantioselectivity has been thorough
Transacetalization of acetals with butane-1,2,4-triol using cobalt(II) chloride and chlorotrimethylsilane

, p. 943 - 946 (2014/04/03)
Transacetalization of acetals with butane-1,2,4-triol was carried out using cobalt(II) chloride and chlorotrimethylsilane as catalysts. The reaction occurs under mild conditions in acetonitrile and with a short reaction time. The synergic effect of the two Lewis acids catalyzes the conversion of butane-1,2,4-triol into (2-alkyl- or 2-aryl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl)methanol derivatives with high regiospecificity and diasteroselectivity.

New and concise approach to (R)-α-lipoic acid
Wei, Zhen,Lan, Hong-Qiao,Zheng, Jian-Feng,Huang, Pei-Qiang
experimental part, p. 691 - 701 (2009/07/18)
A concise enantiospecific synthesis of (S)-6,8-bis(methylsulfonyloxy)- octanoic acid (2), a ready precursor of (R)-(+)-α-lipoic acid (1), is reported. The key step of the synthesis is the coupling of the tosylate derived from (R)-malic acid with phenylpro
