An efficient method of preparing the pure enantiomers of 2,3-butanediol from commercially available mixtures of the d,l- and meso-isomers was developed. It furnished (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol with >99% e.e. and a >99.5/0.5 diastereomeric ratio and (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol in 95% e.e. and >95/5 diastereomeric ratio.
