Enolic ortho ester (2S,3S)-2,3-bis(methoxymethyl)-1,4,6-trioxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-ene (10b) was synthesized in 65% yield by cycloadditon of acrolein with the ketene acetal (4S,5S)-4,5-bis(methoxymethyl)-2-methylidene-1,3-dioxolan (7), derived by potassium t-butoxide treatment of (4S,5S)-4,5-bis(methoxy- methyl)-1,3-dioxolan (4). Lewis acid catalysed reaction (TiCl4, CH2Cl2, –78°) of the enolic ortho ester (10b) with the ketene silyl acetal 3-phenylmethyl-2-trimethylsilyloxy-4,5-dihydrofuran (15) afforded the formyl keto ester 3-[4′,5′-bis(methoxymethyl)-2′-(4′′-oxobutyl)-1′,3′-dioxolan-2′-yl]-3-phenylmethyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (16) (39%) with only poor diastereoselectivity. Attempts to make the bis(phenylmethyl) analogue (10a) of enolic ortho ester (10b) were thwarted by the finding that the required ketene acetal (9), analogous to (7), could not be generated by elimination from (4S,5S)-2-bromomethyl-4,5-bis(phenylmethyl)-1,3-dioxolan (6), or from the derived phenyl selenoxide (8), under a variety of conditions.

17β-t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-methoxy-6-oxaestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-7-one (1), prepared in three steps from 17b-hydroxy-3-methoxy-6-oxaestra-1,3,5(10),8-tetraen-7-one (5a), was converted via the corresponding phenolic acid into 1β-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-5β-(2′-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-4′-methoxyphenyl)-N,7aβ-dimethyl-N-phenyl-2,3,3aα,4,5,6,7,7a-octahydro-1H-indene-4α-carboxamide (17c). Subjection of (17c) to a reaction sequence with methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, sodium methoxide/methanol, and then dry methanol/acetic acid gave a low yield (12%) of the ortho ester 3,7,7,17β-tetramethoxy- 6-oxaestra-1,3,5(10)-triene (2b), together with 5β-(2′-hydroxy-4′-methoxyphenyl)-1β-methoxy-N,7aβ-dimethyl-N-phenyl-2,3,3aα,4,5,6,7,7a-octahydro-1H-indene-4α-carboxamide (17e) (29%), 8% of (17a), the 1β-hydroxy analogue of (17e) and 3% of methyl 5-(2′-hydroxy-4′-methoxyphenyl)-1β-methoxy-7aβ-methyl-2,3,3aα,4,5,6,7,7a-octahydro-1H-indene-4α-carboxylate (11c). The outcome of this reaction sequence was complex, and very sensitive to minor changes in conditions. Several related transformations are described, and possible mechanistic pathways are discussed.

3-Aryl-2,4,10-trioxaadamantane ortho esters (T) undergo a rapid equilibration with a ring-opened dioxan-2-ylium ion (DH+) prior to hydrolysis to product (a 1,3,5-cyclohexanetriol monobenzoate). The cation is stable in concentrated H2SO4 solutions where it has been characterized by nmr spectroscopy. It is observed using uv spectroscopy in dilute acids, and the ratio [DH+]/[T] at equilibrium has been measured as a function of acidity. Reversibility of the ring opening is established by the pattern of plots of cation absorbance versus acid concentration and by the observation that solutions containing cation on neutralization or dilution yield ortho ester, not hydrolysis product. Equilibrium constants for the reaction [Formula: see text] have been measured by obtaining the acidity function HT for this system. The effects of the aromatic substituent and the steepness of the acidity function plot versus acid concentration are interpreted in terms of a strong intramolecular interaction in the cation between the cationic center and the hydroxyl oxygen.

Phenolic ortho esters such as 4′,4′-dimethylspiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-[1,3]dioxolan] (7b) and 4′,4′-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-[1,3]dioxolan] (9c) were prepared in low yields by reaction of 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (5) or 3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (8a) with 2,2-dimethyloxiran in carbon tetrachloride in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate. 3,4-Dihydrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-[1,3] dioxoan ] (9a) and the corresponding 7-methoxy compound (9e) were obtained in high yield by reaction of (8a) or its 7-methoxy analogue (8b) with 1,2-bis(trimethylsily1oxy)ethane (10) in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethane-sulfonate . Birch reduction of phenolic ortho esters such as (9c) and (9e) afforded the enolic ortho esters 4′,4′-dimethyl-3,4,5,8-tetrahydrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-[1,3] dioxola n] (11a) and 7-methoxy-3,4,5,8-tetrahydrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-[1,3]dioxolan] (llc) in high yields. Birch reduction of 4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethylspiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-[1,3]dioxolan] (7c) gave a 1 : 3 mixture of 4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2′-[l,3] dioxolan ] (9d) and the corresponding 3,4,5,8-tetrahydro compound (11b). Acid hydrolysis of the enolic ortho ester (11a) gave 67% of 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl 3-(2-oxocyclohex-3-enyl) propanoate (20).
