Abstract
Abstract Stereochemical isomers of 2,3,4-hexadecanetriol have been prepared by stereospecific hydroxylation of trans-2-hexadecen-4-ol. Their mechanism of formation has been based on polar effects, whereas the consideration of steric effects explains why only dl -arabino and dl -lyxo isomers were isolated although four racemates are possible. Their configurations were further confirmed by comparison of the I.R. spectra.
