Ya. Gomez et al., ASYMMETRIC OXIDATION OF D-GLYCERALDEHYDE DIETHYL DITHIOACETAL WITH A SHARPLESS REAGENT, Journal of carbohydrate chemistry, 13(7), 1994, pp. 1051-1058
The asymmetric oxidation reaction of D-glyceraldehyde diethyl dithioac
etal 1 and its di-O-acetyl derivative with a Sharpless reagent to prod
uce the corresponding D-glyceraldehyde diethyl dithioacetal S-oxide de
rivatives takes place with high stereoselectivity. The configuration o
f the two new chiral centres formed is deduced.
