C-2 symmetric chiral 2,2'-bis(triisopropylsilyloxymethyl)bi(dihydropyran)s
(S,S)-1 and (R,R)-1 were prepared from the corresponding glycidols and sele
ctively reacted with 1,2-diols to give dispiroketals. The products of these
reactions could be deprotected following treatment with fluoride, oxidatio
n and reductive cleavage with samarium(II) iodide.
