for the highly enantioselectivedesymmetrization of 2-alkyl-substituted 1,3-diols is presented. A combination of computational and experimental studies has been utilized to understand the origin of the stere-ocontrol of oxidativedesymmetrization of 1,3-diol benzylideneacetals. DFT calculations demonstrate that the acetal protecting group is highly influential for high enantioselectivity, and a simple
