Abstract

The title reactions are shown to proceed with sterically unfavorable syn preference (to the siloxy group) when steric demand of the acetals is trivial, whereas β-substitution of acetals results in reversal of diastereoselection. These results are discussed in terms of the stereoelectronic vs. steric effect.
