A mixture of (-)-(6R)-2,2,6-trimethyl-1,4-cyclohexandione (924 mg, 6.0 mmol), 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propandiol (791 mg, 7.6 mmol), pyridinium p-tosylate (34 mg, 0.13 mmol), and benzene (15 mL) was heated to reflux under a Dean-Stark water separator for 4 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature before it was washed with H2O, and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Evaporation of solvent gave a pale yellow oil (1.43 g) as the crude product, which was distilled using the Kugel-rohr apparatus (80°-100° C., 0.03 mm Hg) to give pure ketal as a colorless oil (1.31 g, 91%), [a]D -87.7° C. (c 1.10, CH3OH); ir: 1710 cm-1; 1H nmr d: 0.85 (s, 3H, CH3), 0.91 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 3H, CHCH3), 0.97 (s, 6H, 2 CH3), 1.16 (s, 3H, CH3), 1.56 (dd, J=13.5, 13.5 Hz, H-11ax), 1.58 (d, J=14.2 Hz, H-7ax), 2.38 (ddd, J=13.5, 5.3, 3.8 Hz, 1H, H-11eq), 2.47 (dd, J=14.2, 3.8 Hz, 1H, H-7eq), 2.85 (m, 1H, CHCH3), 3.41 and 3.48 (2dd, J=11.4, 1.6 Hz, 2H, 2 equatorial H at C2 and C4), 3.53 and 3.61 (2d, J=11.4 Hz, 2H, 2 axial H at C2 and C4); ms m/e: 240 (M+, 0.58), 141 (27), 155 (98), 83 (27), 69 (100).
