Catalytic asymmetric transacetalization

J Am Chem Soc. 2010 Jun 30;132(25):8536-7. doi: 10.1021/ja102753d.

Abstract

A catalytic enantioselective transacetalization has been developed. The chiral phosphoric acid TRIP was demonstrated to be an efficient and highly enantioselective catalyst for the activation of O,O-acetals. The reaction enables the asymmetric synthesis of acetals with the acetal carbon as the only stereogenic center.
