Reactions of the carbonyl group of 5-acyl-1,3-dioxanes

“…5-Acyl-1,3-dioxanes 1 can serve as initial products to synthesize compounds having such a structural moiety. Recently, we described the conversion of ketones 1 into 5-alkenyl-l,3dioxanes [3], and, with the help of photo-induced processes, into cyclopropanole derivatives, which are difficult to prepare by other synthetical routes [4]. The heterocyclic ketones 1 can easily be prepared in high yields by an acid catalyzed condensation between dialkyl or aryl alkyl ketones with formaldehyde [5].…”
