Selective Manipulation of Hydroxy Groups in (2S,3S)-Threitol

Abstract
Systematic transformation of diethyl (2R,3R)-tartrate into a number of protected or functionalized derivatives of threitol, which are important precursors for many natural products, is carried out employing reductive and oxidative cleavage reactions of benzylidene acetal bond.
