The desymmetrization of mesa compounds is one of the most effective strategies for asymmetric synthesis. This digest focuses on recent progress in the desymmetrization of meso-diols and their derivatives. The topics discussed here include methods for the enzymatic acylation of meso-diols and the hydrolysis of meso-diesters, acylation, related reactions of meso-diols with organocatalysts and metal catalysts, the oxidation of meso-diols by enzymes, organocatalysts, and metal catalysts, and the desymmetrization of meso-dicarbamates with metal catalysts. The desymmetrization of meso-diols using tandem reactions is also discussed. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
