The title chiral C4-building block 1, a meso-tartaric acid synthon, is prepared from dimethyl (R,R)-O,O'-benzylidenetartrate on a multigram scale.The key step is a tosylation-reduction sequence which leads to the diol 5.

A chiral cyclopentanoid building block 29 has been synthesized in a "one pot" cyclization process from epoxides 22-25 (which are readily accessible from (R,R)-(+)-tartaric acid) with the carbanion derived from phenylthioacetonitrile (PhS-CH2-CN).
