Method for preparing (+)r-2-methyl-hexane-1,2-diol

Abstract

A method for preparing important stereospecific intermediates in the synthesis of prostaglandin analogs is disclosed. Said intermediates are (+)R-2-methyl-hexane-1,2-diol and (-)S-2-methyl-hexane-1,2-diol and are prepared via an asymmetric halolactonization reaction utilizing L-proline and D-proline, respectively as the chiral agent.
