Abstract
The stereochemistry of 1-anisyl-2-methyl-1,3-diacetoxypropane diasteromers (Ia, Ib) which arise from the condensation of formaldehyde with anethole has been assigned by the use of conformational principies and intramolecular hydrogen bonding studies. The formation of the above Compounds and 4-anisyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane (III) are rationalized as proceeding through a classical carbonium ion intermedíate.
