Abstract
(2S,3S)- And (2R,3S)-3-[(tert-butyldimethyl)silyloxy]-1-chlorobutan-2- ol have been obtained with high diastereoselectivity by reduction of enantiopure (S)-3-[(tert-butyldimethyl)silyloxy]-1-chlorobutan-2-one using different reducing agents. The chiral alcohols were transformed into the corresponding (2R,3S)- and (2S,3S)-3-[(tert-butyldimethyl)silyloxy]-1,2- epoxybutane.
