A four step process for transforming (2S,3S)-2-amino-3-phenyl-1,3--propanediols into their (2R,3R)-enantiomers is described. The final compounds are useful intermediates for the synthesis of antibiotics like Chloramphenicol, Thiamphenicol and Florfenicol. The starting products generally are discard products in the syn-thesis of said antibiotics.
