Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of acetals is of great interest, especially because of the abundance of cyclic acetals in nature.[1, 2] Recently, there have been several reports of organocatalytic approaches to stereoselective acetal formation.[2b–d] Organocatalysis has become a powerful synthetic tool [3] and is attractive because the reactions are often tolerant of water and air, and tend to be relatively simple to perform. Arguably, the most important ...
