(Chemical Equation Presented) A diastereoselective synthesis of α-tocopherol 1 (93% de) was achieved via two key steps, (i) a highly diastereoselective Shi epoxidation of a trisubstituted alkene and (ii) an acid supported, "anti-Baldwin" epoxide ring opening under inversion of configuration leading to the 6-membered chromanol ring.

Anodic oxidation of tert-butyldimethylsilyl and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl derivatives of p-methoxyphenols affords quinone bisketals containing the uncommon alkyl silyl ketal unit.Acid hydrolysis of these quinone bisketals affords monoketals derived from hyd
