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 synthesis of said antibiotics.

The usual synthesis of thiamphenicol and florfenicol involves the resolution of racemic threo-2-amino-1--1,3-propanediol into its 1S,2S and 1R,2R isomers ((+)-3 and (-)-3), of which only the latter is a useful precursor.An efficient conversion of the 1S,2S isomer into the 1R,2R enantiomer in high yield, is described.
