title: Total regioselective control of tartaric acid.
abstract: An efficient strategy to synthesize tartaric acid building blocks for totally regioselective transformations or derivatizations was disclosed. Starting from l-tartaric acid or l-dimethyl tartrate, respectively, we obtained type I and II building blocks with orthogonal sets of protecing groups (4-8 steps, 38-56% overall yield).
