The partial structure 2 of the bisketal-type, tetracyclic saudin (1), an important natural product, was de novo synthesized. A key step was the Jones oxidation of the epoxide 3, which gave rise to epoxide-ring opening, followed by acetal hydrolysis, alcohol oxidation, and, finally, intramolecular ac

β¦ Synopsis
The conversion of (-)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-erythronolactone (9) into the N-phosphorylated aziridine 20, a model for the fundamental structure of aziridinomitosenes, has been accomplished in 11 steps by way of the vinylogous urethane 13. Key steps include the preparation of 13 by a Reformatsky reaction on a thiolactam precursor, Heck cyclisation of 13 to form the indole ring, and aziridine synthesis via a cyclic sulfite.
