Abstract
Regio- and stereocontrolled alkoxy mercuration of α,β-unsaturated esters allows direct access to 1,3- syn diols in good yields. Demercuration of adducts leads to 1,3 skipped dihydroxy esters, alcohols, and α-halo esters. The deprotection of acetonide with Amberlyst 15 on 1,3- syn-dihydroxy esters gives the corresponding δ-lactones.
