The results from the baker's yeast-mediated reduction of the acetates 3a- d and the methyl ethers 5a-d were compared with the same biotransformation which converts the α-hydroxy ketones 1a-d into the (R)-diols 2a-d (90- 98%ee); the acetates 3a-d afford the (S)-monoacetates 4a-d (72-94% ee) and the methyl ethers 5a-d are reduced to the (R)-monoethers 6a-d (64-76% ee).

Reaction of manganese(III) acetate with diphenyl disulphide in dichloromethane-trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of allylic esters gives trifluoroacetoxy sulphides, which on hydrolysis readily afford vicinal hydroxy sulphides.With acetate esters, neighbouring group participation by the acetate functionality controls the reaction course.Thus regiospecific addition to allyl acetate affords after hydrolysis only 3-phenylthiopropane-1,2-diol.In contrast, with trifluoroacetate esters the inductive effects of the trifluoroacetate functionality lead to a different regiocontrol.Thus addition of diphenyl disulphide to allyl trifluoroacetate gives after hydrolysis only 2-phenylthiopropane-1,3-diol.The regio- and stereochemistry of addition to a variety of other allylic (and homoallylic) esters is described and the extension of this type of regiocontrol is discussed.

Reaction of manganic acetate with diphenyldisulphide in dichloromethane-trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of allylic esters or amides of allylamine gives trifluoroacetoxysulphides and hence by ready hydrolysis vicinal hydroxysulphides.The regiochemical outcome can be controlled by selection of either an acetyl- or trifluoroacetyl derivative.
