Abstract
A water-compatible method for the diastereoselective synthesis of 2-trifluormethyl-1,3-dioxanes is described. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions using simple inorganic bases; it has a very good substrate scope and can be performed with different Michael acceptors. Additionally, the reaction products can be further functionalized, showing an excellent perspective for future applications.
