Use of a chiral Brønsted acid allowed for the synthesis of 1,3-dioxolane and 1,3-oxazolidine products in modest enantioselectivity.

J. 2009; 15: 9286 12 The stereochemistry of the 1,3-dioxolane was confirmed using nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments on the minor diastereomer. 13 A 1.5 dram vial was charged with a magnetic stir bar, 4-methyl-4-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-dienone (1; 0.25 mmol, 1.0 equiv), diphenylphosphinic acid (18 mg, 0.025 mmol, 0.1 equiv), aldehyde/imine (0.31 mmol, 1.25 equiv), and 1,2-dichloroethane or CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL, 0.25 M). The vial was then sealed and stirred at r.t. until the starting material disappeared by TLC (6–48 h). In some cases the reaction was heated to 45 °C. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo. Flash column chromatography (10–20% hexanes–EtOAc) of the resulting clear or yellow residue gave the analytically pure product in high diastereoselectivity as a white solid or clear oil. Some products decompose slowly upon treatment with SiO2 (via acetal hydrolysis) so fast column chromatography is optimal. 14 Gómez-Bombarelli R, González-Pérez M, Pérez-Prior MT, Calle E, Casado J.
