Abstract

A novel, highly stereoselective tandem dihydroxylation, hemiketalization and conjugate addition reaction is reported that transforms a linear meso-functionalized bis-enone into a substituted singly anomeric spiroketal, effectively controlling six stereocenters in a single operation. As part of an effort to explore the thermodynamic consequences of establishing the singly anomeric spiroketal in this system, the assembly of a related fully anomeric spiroketal possessing an unusual ketal-spiroketal-ketal framework is demonstrated.

    • (14) In addition to the aculeatin syntheses in reference 13, a very few reactions are known where a hemiketalization step triggers a subsequent addition to an unsaturated electrophilic center (promoted by the assistance of either a strong base or a transition metal) in an exo-trig or exo-dig addition to form a spiroketal, see:

  • 20 We cannot completely rule out the possibility that double bond isomerization could occur under the thermal reaction conditions of the oxy-Cope rearrangement. However, a thermal cis-to-trans isomerization within the constrained ring system of 14 seems unlikely on thermodynamic grounds

  • 24 Production of 7a was accompanied by the generation of small quantities of other minor products whose presence complicated purification, thereby resulting in a modest isolated yield. It is possible that these minor products include the diastereomer 7b or one of the alternative diastereomeric products deriving from 6b. However, sufficient quantities of these species could not be obtained for characterization purposes
