Oxidative spirocyclisation routes towards the sawaranospirolides. Synthesis of ent-sawaranospirolides C and D.

Two routes are described for the synthesis of the sawaranospirolides, stereoisomeric spirolactone ascorbigenins isolated from Chamaecyparis pisifera. Trapping of the keto enal formed by oxidation of a functionalised 2-(4-hydroxybutyl)furan affords a potential butenolide spiroacetal precursor to sawa...
