Abstract
Single enantiomers and diastereoisomers of 2- and 3-alkyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-1,8-dioxa- and 1-oxa-8-thiaspiro[4.5]decanes can be prepared in good yield by acid-catalysed phenylsulfanyl (PhS-) migration. Either the syn- or anti-stereochemistry can be controlled by aldol reactions or by reduction of hydroxy-ketones.
