✦ Synopsis
Silylations of the C-2 hydroxyl group of a-cyclodextrin were carried out using t-butyldimethylsilyl imidazole in the presence of 4 A , molecular sieves in N,N-dimethylformamide. A unique aspect of this silylation method is the temperature dependence of the regioselectivity; silylation at 0°C regioselectively favored the C-6 position to afford mono-6-O-tbutyldimethylsilyl-a-cyclodextrin, whereas silylation at 140°C exhibited high regioselectivity on the C-2 hydroxyl group.

The intermediate 6 can be converted into enone 13 using a [2.3]sigmatropic sulfoxide rearrangement as the key transformation. The C-13 hydroxylation of 13 was studied, and found to give 14 (epimeric to guanacastepene A). Examination of silyl enol ethers of 13 demonstrated the ready isomerization of
