Abstract
levo-2,3-Butanediol reacts spontaneously with thionyl chloride to give good yields of its cyclic sulphite (b.p. 177° to 178 °C.). This ester is optically active [Formula: see text] and can be hydrolyzed by dilute hydrochloric acid to pure levo-2,3-butanediol and sulphurous acid. The cyclic sulphite of meso-2,3-butanediol (b.p. 188° to 189 °C.) was also prepared.
