Optically active 3,4-diacetoxy-2-formylmethylene-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decanes
have been synthesized from an acyclic keto-alcohol possessing an unsaturat
ed aldehyde part via intramolecular conjugate addition. The C3- and C4-ster
eogenic centers were introduced via Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of
an acyclic conjugated ketone with modified AD-mix-alpha in high enantiosel
ectivity (96% e.e.). This is the first access to optically active spiroacet
al 2-enol ethers. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
