Room temperature hydrogenolysis by LiAlH4-AlCl3 of ether solutions of a number of 1,3-dioxolanes was studied. Electron-donor substituents on the C-2 atom of the ring accelerated, while electron-acceptor substituents on C-2 retarded, the reductive ring cleavage. The same effect, but to a lesser extent, was observed when these substituents were attached to the C-4 or C-5 atom of the ring. When electron-donor substituents were attached to C-4, ring cleavage occurred predominantly at the (C-2)-O bond remote from the C-4 position. On the other hand, electron-withdrawing groups attached to C-4 gave predominantly scission of the (C-2)-O bond closer to the C-4 substituted position. In contrast to this marked control over the direction of ring cleavage exhibited by substituents on C-4, those on C-2 generally had little or no effect on the direction of ring opening. A mechanistic interpretation of the results was given.
