Additional substrates were examined including five-and six-membered diosphenol ethers and the highly functionalized hydroxy enol ether. A procedure was also developed that provided rapid access to the desired α-carbonyl functionalized cyclic ethers. Replacement of the tertiary hydroxy groups with a cyclic ether would establish an access to spiroacetals which are common features in biologically active natural products. Additional applications of this process are being explored towards biologically active molecules. date: 2007-01-01 date_type: published publication: Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry volume: 5 number: 1 pagerange: 58 - 60 refereed: TRUE issn: 1477-0520 id_number: 10.1039/b612992g pmid: 17164906 mesh_headings: Alkaloids--chemical synthesis mesh_headings: Alkaloids--chemistry mesh_headings: Alkenes--chemistry mesh_headings: Alkenes--metabolism mesh_headings: Ethers, Cyclic--chemistry mesh_headings: Ethers, Cyclic--metabolism mesh_headings: Ketones--chemical synthesis mesh_headings: Ketones--chemistry mesh_headings: Molecular Structure mesh_headings: Oxidation-Reduction mesh_headings: Spiro Compounds--chemical synthesis mesh_headings: Spiro Compounds--chemistry mesh_headings: Stereoisomerism chemical_names: Alkaloids chemical_names: Alkenes chemical_names: Ethers, Cyclic chemical_names: Ketones chemical_names: Spiro Compounds chemical_names: acutumine citation: Waller, DL and Stephenson, CRJ and Wipf, P (2007) Spiroketals via oxidative rearrangement of enol ethers.
