title: DIBAL-mediated reductive transformation of trans-dimethyl tartrate acetonide into ε-hydroxy α,β-unsaturated ester and its derivatives.
abstract: Stepwise, selective DIBAL reduction of the acetonide diester derived from tartaric acid followed by the Horner-Emmons reaction effectively provided desymmetrized hydroxy mono-olefination products in a one-pot operation.
