Asymmetric synthesis of butenolides

Optically active butenolides have been prepared from the reaction of chiral 1,3-dioxolans and 1,3-oxazolidines with the silyl enol ethers 2-trimethylsilyloxyfuran and 2-trimethylsilyoxy-4-methoxyfuran. Chiral 1,3-dioxolans were prepared in high yields (80-96%) by the exchange reaction of diisopropyl...
