Double Intramolecular Transacetalization of Polyhydroxy Acetals: Synthesis of Conformationally-Restricted 1,3-Dioxanes with Axially-Oriented Phenyl Moiety

The synthesis of conformationally-restricted 1,3-dioxanes with a phenyl moiety fixed in an axial orientation at the acetalic center is described. Starting with diethyl 3-hydroxyglutarate (15), benzaldehyde acetal 12a and acetophenone ketal 12b bearing a protected 1,3,5-trihydroxypentyl side chain in...
