Selective protection of spirocyclic diols. An unusual acetal opening by DIBAL-H

Abstract

The spirocyclic diols 1 and 2, which possess two secondary hydroxyl groups, have been selectively protected as the monobenzyl ethers by a two-step procedure. Diols 1 and 2 were first transformed to their corresponding acetals 3 and 4, and the regioselective opening of these acetals with DIBAL-H produced the desired monoprotected diols.
