Novel substituted dioxanones obtained from (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid, for example 2,2-dimethoxy-6-methyl-1,3-dioxan-4-one, a method for their preparation and processes using the dioxanones as starting material. The dioxanones can be used in particular as intermediates in the preparation of (S)-4-methyl- beta -butyrolactone. |
