Abstract

Possible routes for the preparation of 2, 3, 4-trihydroxybutylarsonic acid, a key compound for the synthesis of novel arsonolipids, were experimentally evaluated. The best substrate was found to be 3, 4-epoxybutane-1, 2-diol. Its reaction with alkaline sodium arsenite,“Na 3 AsO 3,” gave the arsonic acid in∼ 50% yield, as two pairs of diastereoisomers, each pair being a racemic mixture.
