A novel asymmetric desymmetrisation of meso-cyclopentane-1,2-diol via diasteroselective β-elimination of chiral α-arylsulfinyl acetals

Abstract
meso-Cyclopentane-1,2-diol was differentiated via diasteroselective C–O bond fission of the acetal utilising the anion stabilised by a neighbouring chiral sulfinyl group to provide the chiral alcohol.
