The resolution of racemic mixtures remains a challenge in organic synthesis. This project involves the synthesis of chiral diols for use in resolving racemic mixtures of aldehydes and ketones. The chiral diol will react with the racemic mixture to form diastereoemeric acetals, which are separable by normal laboratory means (recrystallization or chromatography).??
