Abstract

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 BF3· OEt2 and Et3SiH to give a highly functionalized benzyl ether, which was converted to ...
