Despite their significant potential, catalytic asymmetric reactions of olefins with formaldehyde are rare and metal-free approaches have not been previously disclosed. Here we describe an enantioselective intermolecular Prins reaction of styrenes and paraformaldehyde to form 1,3-dioxanes, using confined imino-imidodiphosphate (iIDP) Br?nsted acid catalysts. Isotope labeling experiments and computations suggest a concerted, highly asynchronous addition of an acid-activated formaldehyde oligomer to the olefin. The enantioenriched 1,3-dioxanes can be transformed into the corresponding optically active 1,3-diols, which are valuable synthetic building blocks.

Iodine is found to be an effective reagent for the cross-coupling of olefins with aldehydes under mild conditions to produce 4-substituted 1,3-dioxane derivatives in excellent yields and in short reaction times with high selectivity. The use of iodine makes this procedure simple, convenient, cost-effective and practical. This method works not only with formaldehyde but also with acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde.

Novel Hydrophobic Bronsted acidic ionic liquids (HBAIL) were prepared and utilized as acid catalysts in organic reactions in water. HBAILs were demonstrated, for the first time, to be effective catalysts for Prins cyclization of styrene derivatives in water with a formaldehyde water solution. Many styrene derivatives could be successfully converted to the corresponding 1,3-dioxanes. Other dehydration reactions also proceeded well using HBAILs in water. After reactions, HBAILs could be easily recovered and reused without significant loss of activity. Copyright
