followed by hydride reduction and removal of the saccharide fragment was used to prepare enantiomerically pure 1,2-dihydroxy alkanes. Diols of (R) or (S) configuration can be synthesized from (α)-glycosides or the (β) form respectively. Demercuration with chloride ion led to the insertion of a halo group adjacent to the new chiral center thus allowing for the possibility of further functionalization.
