Highly stereoselective preparation of enantiomerically pure 1,2-diols: synthesis of (+)-exobrevicomin

Abstract
Reduction of optically pure acyl-lactones (2) by L-Selectride affords monoprotected syn diols with high diastereoselectivity; the reaction was applied to the stereo- and enantio-specific synthesis of (+)-exobrevicomin.
