Tartaric acid is an inexpensive and readily available chiral starting material for the syn- thesis of chiral molecules. In a well-known prostaglandin synthesis, the (S,S)-tartaric acid enantiomer was used to prepare the chiral diol in several steps. The chiral diol was isolated as a synthetic intermediate, and the following reagents are used. Draw the structures of synthetic intermediates A and B.

The Dess–Martin reaction reacts an alcohol with the Dess–Martin periodinane. The first step displaces one of the acetate groups on the periodinane with the alcohol. A base then deprotonates one of the alpha protons, forming a new carbonyl bond, iodinane and acetic acid. The oxidation stops at this stage to give the aldehyde. Both Swern and Dess–Martin conditions will also convert a secondary alcohol to a ketone. Now apply what has just been discussed. Draw the major organic product.
