Abstract

Abstract: The scope and utility of the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation has been expanded to include the use of allylic 4-methoxybenzoates as precursors of a wide variety of substituted chiral glycerol derivatives. The allylic 4-methoxybenzoyl group was found to be superior to other allylic alcohol protecting groups with respect to both yield and enantiomeric purity of the product. For example, asymmetric dihydroxylation of allyl 4-methoxybenzoate ...
