The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, washed three times with saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallised from ether/pentane to give (2R,6R)-2-(2'-phenylethyl)-6-methyl-1,3-dioxan-4-one (7.0 g), m.p. 49.7°-50.9° C.; [α]DR.T. =15.2(c=1.05; CHCl3).
