Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) (9) is shown to be a useful, inexpensive chiral starting material for natural products synthesis. It is converted in high yield via two synthetic operations into (R)-glycerol acetonide (7), the more inaccessible enantiomer of glycerol acetonide. Since D-(R)-glyceraldehydeacetonide (4) and the corresponding alcohol 1 have been used in many total syntheses of a wide variety
