Abstract

The synthesis and utility of 2,3-butane diacetal protected butane tetrol (R[hair space]′,R[hair space]′,R,S[hair space])-2 for the general and efficient production of enantiopure anti-1,2-diols through selective silylation, alkylation and acetalisation of the spatially different hydroxy termini is described.
