Process for the synthesis of (4R-cis)-1,1-dimethylethyl 6-iodomethyl or 6-(phenyl-substituted)sulfonyloxymethyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4-acetate

摘要

An improved process for the preparation of (4R-cis)-1,1-dimethylethyl 6-cyanomethyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4-acetate is described where a hydroxy ester derivative is converted in two steps to the desired product, as well as valuable intermediates used in the process.
