A number of 3-O-substituted 1,3-dihydroxypropan-2-ones have been synthesized in view of their potential use as prochiral precursors of optically active glycerols. Indeed, the oxo-ethers have been reduced to the corresponding 3-O-substituted glycerols via chiral Ru complexes derived from (S)-binap, ( =(−)-(S)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene) with enantiomeric excesses up to 93%.

对苯二酚的对映体过量最高可达93%。催化还原的空间过程似乎主要取决于取代基的空间占位性。的确,当笨重的三苯甲基基团被较少保留的苄基或
