, p. 39 - 40 (1992)
An improved synthesis of the title compound in ca. 45% yield on up to a 174 mmol scale is reported. Bromination of (2R,6R)-2-tert-butyl-6-methyl-1,3-dioxan-4-one gives a mixture of mono- and dibromides which must be purified by chromatography to remove impurities which may poision the palladium catalyst in the following dehalogenation step.

(R)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid (from the biopolymer PHB) and pivalaldehyde give the crystalline cis- or (R,R)-2-(tert-butyl)-6-methyl-1,3-dioxan-4-one (1a), the enolate of which is stable at low temperature in THF solution and can be alkylated diastereoselectively (->3, 4, 5, and 7).Phenylselenation and subsequent elimination give an enantiomerically pure enol acetal 10 of aceto-acetic acid.Some reactions of 10 have been carried out, such as Michael addition (->11), alkylation on the CH3 substituent (->13), hydrogenation of the C=C bond (->1a) and photochemical cycloaddition (->16).The overall reactions are substitutions on the one sterogenic center of the starting β-hydroxy acid without racemization and without using a chiral auxiliary.
