Stereoselective Formation of Substituted 1,3-Dioxolanes through a Three-Component Assembly during the Oxidation of Alkenes with Hypervalent Iodine(III).

ABSTRACT: Stereoselective formation of substituted 1,3-dioxolanes was achieved through an assembly of three components: alkene, carboxylic acid and silyl enol ether. The reaction proceeded via stereospecific generation of a 1,3-dioxolan-2-yl cation intermediate during oxidation of alkene substrates with hypervalent iodine. The stereoselective trapping of the cation intermediate with silyl enol ether completed the formation of the dioxolane product.
