Two new useful methods for the preparation of diol 1 starting from ava
ilable compounds are described. Separation of the two enantiomers enta
ils resolution of racemic diol 1 via the corresponding diastereomeric
N-methylated phosphorothioamidates. Their separation by recrystallizat
ion followed by reduction afforded diol (aS)-1 and (aR)-1 in 100% and
72% ee, respectively. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
