, p. 10202 - 10207 (2006)
An efficient enantioselective synthesis of (-)-chloramphenicol (1) and (+)-thiamphenicol (2) is described. These antibiotics have been synthesized from commercially available 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde, respectively, using tethered aminohydroxylation and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation as the chirality inducing steps.

A common strategy for the synthesis of (-)-chloramphenicol and (+)-thiamphenicol is described. These antibiotics have been synthesized from commercially available 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde in three and four steps, respectively.
