Abstract
Enantioselective syntheses of all the possible stereoisomers of 1-phenyl-2,3-butanediol (erythro isomer 1 and threo isomer 2) and of 3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2-butanone 3, the odor components of wisteria flowers, was accomplished via Sharpless asymmetric epoxydation. The absolute configurations of 1–3 were determined by an HPLC analysis of the corresponding MTPA esters of synthetic samples.Keywords
