Dispiroketals in synthesis (Part 16): Functionalised dispiroketals as new chiral auxiliaries; the synthesis of dihydroxylated dispiroketals in optically pure form and their application as bifunctional, C2‐symmetrical, chiral auxiliaries for highly stereoselective Michael additions

Abstract
A range of rigid, architecturally complex diols derived from dispiroketals have been synthesised. A bifunctional, C2‐symmetrical, chiral auxiliary derived from these dihydroxylated dispiroketals has been used to induce a high degree of asymmetry in Michael additions of cuprates to a variety of di‐α, β‐unsaturated ester systems.
