Reaction of substituted 1,3-dioxanes with the disobutyl ester of isobutylboric acid
The reaction of subsitituted 1,3-dioxanes with the diisobutyl ester of isobutylboric acid leads to the corresponding 1,3,2-dixaborinanes. The determining factor in the reactivity of the 1,3-dioxanes is the degree of substitution of the acetal atom.
