Addition of diethyl phosphite to 2,3-O-cyclohexylidene-D-glyceraldehyde catalyzed by triethylamine or fluorides led to ca. 35:65 mixtures of diethyl (1R,2R)- and (1S,2R)-2,3-O-cyclohexytidene-1,2,3-trihydroxypropylphosphonates (4a) and (4b). Application of lithium diethylphosphonate only slightly improved diastereoselectivity. Through chromatographic separation of 4a and 4b the protected trihydroxypropylphosphonates became available for the first time as pure enantiomers. The 1S configuration in the major diastereoisomer 4b was assigned on the basis of conformational and configurational analysis of 1,2-O-isopropylidene derivatives obtained from the title compounds.

A reliable method for the synthesis of the enantiomerically pure diethyl (R)-2,3-dihydroxypropylphosphonate from 1,2;5,6-di-O-cyclohexylidene-D-mannitol is elaborated.
A general and concise stereodivergent chiral pool approach toward trans-(4S,5R)- and cis-(4R,5R)-5-alkyl-4-methyl-γ-butyrolactones: Syntheses of (+)-trans- and (+)-cis-whisky and cognac lactones from D-(+)-mannitol

A straightforward synthesis of (+)-trans-(4S,5R)- and (+)-cis-(4R,5R)-whisky lactones starting from D-(+)-mannitol has been reported here in fewer number of efficient steps compared to existing literature processes involving D-mannitol as the chiral pool starting material. Chiron approach directly translated chirality of D-mannitol to one of the two chiral centers in these target molecules. Toward this end, stereoisomerically pure trans- and cis-iodomethyl-γ-lactones were formed in the penultimate step. These two acted as versatile advanced common intermediates as they were also converted to the (+)-trans-(4S,5R)- and (+)-cis-(4R,5R)-cognac lactones, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, till date no synthesis of cognac lactones starting from D-mannitol has been reported. All these lactones are identified as the key aroma components of aged alcoholic beverages.
Enantiodivergent syntheses of (+)- and (?)-1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)propan-2-ol: A way to access (+)- and (?)-mexiletine from D-(+)-mannitol

Chiron approach was used to acquire optically pure (R)- and (S)-1-(2,6-dimethylphenoxy)propan-2-ol, immediate precursors of (S)- and (R)-mexiletines, respectively. Two different routes were followed from a D-mannitol-derived optically pure common precursor to get the enantiomeric alcohols separately. Comparison of their specific rotation values with the corresponding literature values as well as exact mirror-image relationship between their CD curves proved their high enantiopurity. These alcohols were then transformed to the corresponding amine-drugs in an efficient one-step process instead of two steps described in the literature.
