Abstract

Glyoxylates of three chiral alcohols were conveniently prepared by reaction of the alcohol with oxalyl chloride followed by reduction of the resulting alkoxy oxalyl chloride with tributyltin hydride. The products were isolated in 75–80% yield by straightforward flash chromatography.

Key words

chiral glyoxylates - 8-phenylmenthol - 8-phenylisoneomenthol - menthol
