2. Stereospecific Syntheses of Long-Chain 1,2,3,4-Alkanetetrols
3. After completion of this work we learnt through correspondence with Prof. A. Kjaer that he and his colleagues were engaged in the synthesis of various C20-tetrols. Sometime back8 this group reported synthesis of D-lyxo-, D-ribo-, and D-xylo-eico-sanetetrols, as well as that of D-xylo-octadecanetetrol. This work independently led to the establishment of the configuration of natural guggultetrols as D-xylo. See footnote,P. 1443, ref. 8.
