Abstract
Lewis acids catalyse the condensation of isovaleraldehyde with 1,3-dim ethoxybenzene. All conformers formed in this reaction were isolated an d analysed spectroscopically. SnCl4, when used in this reaction, catal ysed selective formation of the rccc conformer in high yield. Its sele ctivity was compared to other aliphatic aldehydes. (C) 1998 Elsevier S cience Ltd.
