Studies on the synthesis of ginkgolides. Rapid construction of the spiro[4.4]nonane A and B rings
Abstract
The functionalised spiro [4.4] nonane 30 is available from tert-butylcyclopentadiene 16via spiroalkylation with 12b to give 17/18, followed by singlet oxygenation/aldolisation to the mixture of 21, 22, 25 and 26. Oxidation of the mixture gave two enediones 28/29, which were reduced with K-Selectride and the diastereoisomer 26 was separated and hydrogenated to give 30.
