By acetalisation of L ‐menthone (2) with mercaptoacetic acid and derivatives of benzylamine, the spirocyclic N,S‐acetals 3 were obtained as single diastereomers. The reaction of an epimeric mixture of unsubstituted thiazolidinones 4 with acetic anhydride or allyl iodide afforded homochiral N ‐acetyl (5) or N ‐allyl N,S‐acetals (6) , respectively. The configuration of the new stereogenic centres were proven by X‐ray crystallography.
