Diastereoselective synthesis and structural determination of 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones from lactic acid and carbonyl derivatives

New 1,3-dioxolan-4-ones were prepared by reacting lactic acid with the corresponding ketones.Depending on steric interactions and the cyclization method chosen, a good selectivity was achieved favoring cis or trans diastereomers.Relative stereochemistry and product conformation is discussed on the basis of NMR spectra.Key Words: dioxolanes / chirality transfer / lactic acid / relative stereochemistry

Chirality transfer from lactic acid selective synthesis of 2,2-disubstituted-1,3-dioxolan-4-ones from ketones and acetals

Diastereomeric 2,2-disubstituted-5-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-ones were prepared from lactic acid and ketones or their acetals with excellent control of stereochemistry under kinetic or thermodynamic reaction conditions.
