Abstract

The vinylogous aldol reaction of O-silyl dienolates deriving from 2, 2-dimethyl-[1, 3]-dioxin-4- ones proceeds in moderate to excellent yields in the presence of catalytic amounts of PhCOOH under solvent-free conditions. Modest to good yields can be obtained by using silica gel or 3Å molecular sieves as heterogeneous catalysts.
