Aldol Reactions of Dioxanes Derived from Tartaric Acid. A Total Synthesis of (+)-Nephrosteranic Acid

Abstract
A general enantioselective synthesis of the paraconic acids was developed. The key step was a highly stereoselective aldol reaction between a dioxane dithioester derived from l-tartaric acid and a suitable aldehyde.
