Non-Carbohydrate Route to Levoglucosenone and Its Enantiomer Employing Asymmetric Dihydroxylation

Abstract
Levoglucosenone and its enantiomer have been prepared in an enantiocontrolled manner from a non-carbohydrate prochiral precursor 2-vinylfuran via the corresponding isolevoglucosenone precursors employing the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD reaction) as key step.
