Optimizing the Reaction Temperature for the Henry/Ketalization Sequence

The reaction was performed on a 0.2 mmol scale.
Combined yield of isolated product as a mixture of diastereomers after flash chromatography.
Diastereomeric ratio; major-(2S,3S,4S,5R,6R) vs minor-(2S,3S,4S,5S,6S) diastereomer determined by 1H NMR.
