The title compound, C12H24O6, was synthesized and subjected to an X-ray structure determination. The aim of this structure analysis was to determine the relative orientation of two vicinal ethoxy groups in its precursor, diethyl (2R,3R,5R,6R)-5,6-diethoxy-5,6-dimethyl-1,4-dioxane-2, 3-dicarboxylate, from which the title compound can be generated by a reaction that retains the absolute configuration of the molecular skeleton.

A simple access to a new class of C-2-symmetric auxiliaries and ligands is based on the transacetalization of diethyl tartrate (1) with monoacetals of butane-2,3-dione in the key step. Acid-catalyzed reaction of 1 with 2 equiv of 3,3-diethoxybutan-2-one (2) gives the C-2-symmetric 1,4-dioxane 7 in 88% yield. Reduction of 7 with LiAlH4 affords the crystalline diol 9. The structure of 7 was established from the X-ray structure of 9. Dioxane 7 was converted by standard methodology into the diphosphine 24 and the TARTROL 22. Reaction of 1 with 3,3-dimethoxybutan-2-one (3) in the presence of BF3-etherate gives in analogy to the formation of 7 the 1,4-dioxane 8. This compound was transformed into the diphosphine 25 and the TARTROL 23. The trans-diaxial relationship of the methoxy groups present in 8 could be deduced without X-ray analysis from the H-1-NMR spectrum of 23.

The asymmetric intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of alpha,beta-enoates was evaluated as a simple access to the novel Ct-symmetric bisphosphanes 22 and 27 possessing a cyclobutane backbone. A source of different chiral auxiliaries for investigations of the photochemical key step was provided by the transacetalization of dialkyl tartrates 3 with the corresponding 3,3-dialkoxybutan-2-ones 4. An insight into the selection mechanism was gained by temperature dependent measurements on the irradiation of the dicinnamates 10a-d, since the corresponding Eyring diagram discloses strictly linear functions as well as an isoselective relationship. Diol 8a turned out to be a structurally optimized auxiliary in terms of chiral induction and product crystallization and was also successfully applied in the first asymmetric photodimerization of 2-indenecarboxylic acid esters. Indeed, in this case excellent diastereoselectivities were achieved, too, but head-to-tail dimers 16a and 16b were formed predominantly. Diesters 11a and 16a were converted by standard procedures into the desired enantiopure 1,4-diphosphane 22 and 1,5-diphosphane 27. Furthermore, the hitherto unknown absolute configuration of delta-truxinic acid was elucidated from a single crystal X-ray structure analysis of 11a.

Chiral 1,4-diphenylphosphines 5-7 as well as thioether 8 were synthesized from tartrates employing Ley's "BDA" and "Dispoke" methodologies as the key step. Rhodium(I) complexes with 5-7 are efficient catalysts for the asymmetrichydrogenation of beta-substituted enamides and MOM-protected beta-hydroxyl enamides, which furnished chiral amines or beta-amino alcohols with 94-->99% ee. These results indicated
