Acid catalysed rearrangement of a spiroketalenol ether. An easy synthesis of chrycorin

Abstract

Tonghaosu, 2-[(Z)-hexa-2,4-diynylidene]-1,6-dioxaspiro[4,4]non-3-ene (1a), and its spiroketal enol ether analogues (1b–d and 2) were efficiently converted into interesting cyclopentenone derived oxabicyclic compounds. By applying this reaction protocol the natural product chrycorin was easily synthesized in its racemic form. A reaction mechanism for this is proposed.
