Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Spiroacetals Monitored by Chiral Sulfoxides: Application to (2S,6R)-2-Methyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5,6]dodecane, an Insect Volatile

Abstract
The title spiroacetal was prepared from (+)-(5S)-methyl 5-hydroxyhexanoate, which is readily obtained by reduction of an optically active ß-ketosulfoxide derived from glutaric anhydride.
