  • Stereospecific process for production of c-5-aralkoxy-r-2-substituted-5-alkyl-1,3-dioxanes and intermediates
    Patent number: 4059594
    Abstract: Production of c-5-aralkoxy-r-2-substituted-5-alkyl-1,3-dioxanes by epoxidizing the double bond of a 2-substituted-5-alkylidene-1,3-dioxane to form a cis epoxide, hydrogenolyzing said epoxide to form a 2-substituted-5-alkyl-5-hydroxy-1,3-dioxane in which there is a cis relationship between the 5-hydroxy and the 2-substituent, and etherifying said hydroxydioxane with an aralkyl halide.
