Abstract
Various (2S,3S)-2,3-bisarylmethoxy-1,4-butanediols 3a-h were synthesized from l-(+)-tartrate through bisallylether 12. Protection of the primary alcohol as an allyl ether was essential for selective deprotection in the presence of reactive arylmethyl ethers.
Key words
tartaric acid - allyl ether - catalyst - palladium - deprotection
