2-O-(4,4 '-dimethylbenzhydryl)-L-erythronolactone

The high regioselectivity of the SnCl2-catalyzed reaction of diaryl-diazo-methanes with vicinal diols was demonstrated by the reaction of diazo-[bis-(4-methyl-phen-yl)]methane with l-erythronolactone. The major product was unequivocally established by X-ray crystallographic analysis to be the title...
