Abstract
An efficient microbial resolution of 1,2-bis-(methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-diol (2) has been achieved by exposing the corresponding diacetate to Trichoderma viride(T. konigii); stereoselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols and oxidation of sulphides are achieved with ButOOH using Ti(OPri)4–optically active diols (2) as chiral catalysts.Keywords
