1,3:4,6-Di-O-benzylidene-D-mannitol is a chiral sugar that is synthesized from d-mannitol. It is used for the preparation of polymers with acrylonitrile and phosphine. 1,3:4,6-Di-O-benzylidene-D-mannitol can be obtained by copolymerizing the monomers d-mannitol and acrylonitrile in an enantioselective manner. The yield of this compound depends on the analytical methods used to determine the composition of the polymer. The product is also used as a ligand in metal hydrides and simplifies the synthesis of chiral methyl esters.
