Application

D-(+)-Glyceraldehyde can be utilized as a reactant in the synthesis of:
  • (S)-homophenylalanine by ruthenium oxidation of a 3-amino-1,2-diol generated via coupling of an amine, and α-hydroxyaldehyde.
  • β- and γ-allenols via metal-catalyzed cyclization. Allenols are used as a key precursor for the preparation of enantiopure dihydropyrans and tetrahydrooxepines.
  • Isopropylidene D-glyceraldehyde intermediate, which controls the chirality in the total synthesis of prostaglandins (PGE1).
