Optically Active C5-Synthons for the Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Terpenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/hlca.19830660314

The optically active synthons (S)-22, (R)-23, (R)-25 and (R)-26 were prepared from L-serine.Furthermore the tertiary alcohol 6 was synthesized from L-serine (-> (S)-6) and D-mannitol (-> (R)-6).These compounds are suitable for the synthesis of optically active natural products.
