Asymmetric synthesis of the C(6-18) bis(tetrahydropyran)spiroacetal fragment of the lituarines

We describe efforts to achieve a multigram synthesis of the tricyclic spiroacetal core of the lituarines based on the addition of acyl anion equivalent to 4-(2-furyl)butan-2-one (18). We report the first cases of chemoselective Achmatowicz reaction in the presence of a second furan ring that lacks a...
