A simple stereoselective process for the synthesis of highly substituted γ-lactones was developed based on aldolreactions between the enolate of dioxanes derived from tartaric acid and aldehydes. A range of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were reacted, in most cases achieving good yields and stereoselectivity. The limitations of this reaction were identified and a transition state is proposed.
