(1R,2S)-1-(3'-Chloro-4'-methoxyphenyl)-1,2propanediol (Trametol, 3), a metabolite of the fungus Trametes sp. IVP-F640 and Bjerkandera sp. BOS55, was synthesized by employing Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation as the key step. Similarly, the (1R,2S)-isomer of 1-(3',5'-dichloro-4'-methoxyphenyl)-1,2-propanediol (4), another metabolite of Bjerkandera sp. BOS55, was synthesized by asymmetric dihydroxylation.
