Abstract
The reaction of cis-2-methoxy-4-methyl-1, 3-dioxane (4) with Grignard reagents proceeds in a totally regioselective manner via rupture of the less congested C (2) O (1) bond remote from the 4-methyl substituent. The analogous r-2-methoxy-cis-4, cis-6-dimethyl-1, 3-dioxane (2) is totally inert to the action of Grignard reagents.
