Abstract

2,3-Dimethoxy-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-dioxane readily prepared from biacetyl serves as a stable precursor to 2,3-dimethylene-1,4-dioxane which undergoes a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction with dienophiles to give functionalized cyclohexene derivatives. The cycloaddition adducts obtained by the present procedure are transformed into potentially useful intermediates for biologically important materials.
