Abstract

Homochiral 1-alkyl-3, 4-dihydroxypyrrolidines,(S, S)-and (R, R)-5 were obtained by cyclization and reduction of both enantiomers of (+)-and (−)-tartaric acid, respectively. Also (S, S)-3, 4-dihydroxytetrahydrofurane 6 was prepared from (+)-diethyl tartrate. All these heterocyclic vic-diols underwent twofold Mitsunobu reaction (Ph3P/DEAD/HN3) followed by catalytic hydrogenation forming stereospecifically the corresponding primary vicinal ...
