Spiroketals: Toward the synthesis of 39‑oxobistramide K
Abstract:
An advanced spiroketal intermediate toward the synthesis of 39-oxobistramide K was prepared, fragment C14–C40. This fragment was obtained in 19 steps with an overall yield of 6.2 % using a FeCl3-catalyzed spiroketalization as the key step.
