Description

(-)-2,3-O-Isopropylidene-D-threitol is a chiral compound with two stereoisomers. It is a crystalline solid that melts at 71°C and has a population of 50%. (-)-2,3-O-Isopropylidene-D-threitol is an important intermediate for the synthesis of polyethers with chiral centers. The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of (-)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-threitol is achieved by alkylation of (+)-2,3-(dimethoxyphosphinyl)propane with isopropanol. This reaction can be used to produce polyethers with chiral centers in high yields and enantioselectivity.
