Abstract
A convenient and scalable synthesis of enantiomers of butane-2,3-diacetal-protected glyceraldehyde was accomplished from d-mannitol and l-ascorbic acid, respectively. The R-aldehyde was additionally converted to the (R,R)-butane-2,3-diacetal glycolic acid building block 1.
Key words
diacetal - glyceraldehydes - α-hydroxy acid - d-mannitol - l-ascorbic acid
