(-)-1,4-Di-O-benzyl-L-threitol is an organic compound that belongs to the group of homochiral compounds. It can be synthesized from l-tartaric acid and benzaldehyde. The reaction starts with a base addition to the carbonyl group of the acid, followed by nucleophilic attack at the carbonyl carbon by a hydroxyl group on the benzaldehyde. This reaction is mechanistic, showing electron transfer as well as desymmetrization. (-)-1,4-Di-O-benzyl-L-threitol can be used for asymmetric synthesis of alkanes and tetrahydrofurans without requiring any chiral reagents or catalysts. It has also been shown to react with acetone and ethylene glycol in dioxolane and alkylation reactions.
