1,3(R):4,6(R)-DI-O-BENZYLIDEN-D-MANNIT ALS AUSGANGSPRODUKT FUER DIE SYNTHESE OPTISCH AKTIVER GLYCERIN-DERIVATE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)91940-4

Starting from the di-O-benzylidene-D-mannitol derivative 11, certain types of optically active glycerol derivatives can be prepared with a minimum of protecting group chemistry.This is exemplified by an efficient synthesis of 2-O-alkyl glyceric acid derivatives 22 and 23.
