(-)-1,4-Di-O-tosyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-L-threitol is a tosyl-protected isopropylidene derivative of L-threitol used as a synthetic intermediate in organic synthesis. It contains two p-toluenesulfonyl ester groups and an isopropylidene acetal that facilitate selective functionalization, substitution, and protecting-group strategies in multistep preparations.
- Provides tosyl protection for primary hydroxyls to enable substitution reactions.
- Contains an isopropylidene acetal that protects vicinal diol functionality.
- Configured with defined stereochemistry for stereospecific transformations.
- High purity suitable for research applications (HPLC >98%).
- Molecular formula C21H26O8S2; molecular weight 470.55.
