14. We expect the formation of intermediate Z-ketene silyl acetal 5 in the Ireland-Claisen rearrangement of 6 from the stereochemistry of product 4 obtained. The selective formation of Z-ketene silyl acetal intermediates in the Claisen rearrangement reactions of allyl glycolate ester derivatives has been expected from the stereochemistry of the major products by several research groups, see: see also Ref. 17: T.

32. The configuration of the newly forming stereocenter (C4) of 7 was confirmed by NMR analysis of a single diastereomeric 5-hydroxy-4-{2-(4- methoxyphenoxy)propyl}-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxane obtained through a process including conventional hydrogenation of 7, separation of epimers at C6, hydrolysis of the acetonide, and benzylidene acetal formation.

34. 5 The reduced coordination ability of the α-oxygen of ent-6 due to steric hindrance may interfere with the Z-enolate formation to result in the low ratio of ent-4 to 17 in polar solvents. However, in toluene, the low solvation ability of toluene may destabilize the E-enolate rather than the Z-enolate, stabilized by the cyclic chelate, to enhance the ratio of ent-4.

37. The time-dependent increase of the ratio of ent-4 might be attributable to the different lifetimes of E- and Z-enolates.
