✦ Synopsis
Organocopper reagents react with a chiral nonracemic 1,3-dioxan-4-one to afford substitution products with high diastereoselectivity.
After treatment of the adducts with potassium t-butoxide, optically active secondary alcohols are obtained. Recently a new chiral, nonracemic acetal for use in the formation of optically active secondary alcohols was described by Seebach et al. (eq 1J.I Several features of the 1,3-dioxan-4-one functional group
were outlined that suggested these chiral auxiliaries may be preferred to related acetals that have seen widespread use in organic synthesis.2-4
