A highly regioselective oxidative cleavage of 1,3:4,6-di-O-benzylidene-d- mannitol was carried out using NBS and the resultant product was readily converted to the C2-symmetric chiral ligand, (R,R)-3,4-dihydroxy-1,5- hexadiene. On the other hand, reductive cleavage of 1,3:4,6-di-O-benzylidene-d- mannitol was achieved in a highly regioselective manner using BF 3?OEt2 and Et3SiH to give a highly functionalized benzyl ether, which was converted to a synthetically useful C2-symmetric bis-amino alcohol derivative.

An exceptionally chemoselective method for the direct conversion of azides to N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-protected amines under catalytic transfer-hydrogenation conditions, using the Lindlar catalyst, is reported. The extremely labile functional groups such as N-Cbz, benzyl ester are shown to be inert under the reaction conditions. The present method allows us to synthesize orthogonally protected (N-Cbz and N-Boc) 1,2-diamino systems, which will be immensely useful in organic synthesis.
