Application

(4S,5S)-2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol can be used:
  • As a key intermediate for the preparation of (6Z)-cis-9S,10R-epoxy-nonadecene, a female sex pheromone of elm spanworm.
  • To prepare a chiral diphosphite ligand by reacting with phosphorochloridite using excess of NEt3.
