✦ Synopsis


2-(4-Hydroxyalkyl)-1,3-dioxolanes (3a/3b, 5-7) undergo an via the benzylic carbenium ion B and the 1,3-dioxolan-2ylium cation C, is supported by the stereochemistry of the acid-catalyzed rearrangement to give 2-hydroxyethyl alkanoic esters 8-11. The postulated mechanism, proceeding reaction and the results of deuterium labeling experiments.
