Synthesis of (R)-Lactic Acid and (2R,5R)-2-tert-Butyl-5-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-one

Abstract A convenient procedure for the synthesis of very expensive ( R )-lactic acid from relatively inexpensive ( R )-alanine is described. Its subsequent conversion into a chiral dioxolanone can be carried out by using an inexpensive pivalaldehyde– tert -butanol mixture.
