The desymmetrization of -quinols using a Brønsted acid catalyzed acetalization/Michael cascade was achieved in high yields and diastereoselectivities for aldehydes and imines. Use of a chiral Brønsted acid allowed for the synthesis of 1,3-dioxolane and 1,3-oxazolidine products in modest enantioselectivity.
