Abstract
: (2 R ,3 R )-1,4-dimethoxy-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutane-2,3-diol has diverse applications in asymmetric organic synthesis, and this paper briefly introduces the progress on its synthetic methods from the perspective of green chemistry. Our group developed new synthetic methods based on the region-selective transformation of (2 R ,3 R )-1,1,4,4-tetraphenylbutanetetraol. In the preparation, methanol was used as a methylating reagent and common inorganic alkali liquor was used instead of DDQ and LiAlH 4 .
