An improved methodology for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure (S)-2,3-O-cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde.
An improved methodology to prepare (S)2,3-O-cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde is described. Starting from the commercially available (L)-cyclohexylidene protected ascorbic acid the enantiomerically pure aldehyde was synthesized in only two steps in 41% overall yield.
