L-S)-glyceraldehyde acetonide is easily obtained from L-ascorbic acid by three-step procedure. Since the aldehyde is rather unstable in pure form it is more convenient to use it as an aqueous solution. It was used to synthesize L-(R)-glycerol acetonide, monocyclic-ß-lactams, and olefins (by Wittig reaction).
