12. 12. In our hands, the following reactions produced moderate to poor results: Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and asymmetric dihydroxylation of 1-heptadecene (ee<80%); lipase PS-30 catalyzed acetylation of 1-bromo-2-hydroxyhexa-and octadecane (ee<60%); chiral reduction of 1-bromooctadecan-2-one with DIP-Cl (ee<20%). Attachment of a long chain to an enantiopure glycerol equivalent via nucleophilic displacement gave no or low yield of the desired products. The literature contains many examples of Wittig homologation of glyceraldehyde derived from D-mannitol and L-ascorbic acid to introduce a long chain.
