Abstract
Six regioisomeric nonracemic dimethylphenyl glycerol ethers were synthesized by asymmetric dihydroxylation of the corresponding allyl dimethylphenyl ethers. The enantioselectivity of the reaction with o-methyl derivatives was lower (down to 34% ee) than with m-methylphenyl ethers (up to 86% ee). Enantiomeric 3-(3,4-dimethylphenoxy)propane-1,2-diols were used to obtain enantiomerically pure physiologically active amino alcohols and their derivatives.
