โฆ Synopsis
Acid-catalyzed equilibration of spiroketals 5SHp6 and 55Haj3 involves a two stage process whereby the 1,6-dioxaspiro]4.4]nonanes can be equilibrated under mild conditions to a pair of 1,6_dioxaspiro[45]decanes with preservation of the adjacent C-20 methyl stereocenter. Under more forcing conditions, both centers can be equilibrated in a reaction involving vinyl ether intermediate 10H. Cephalostatin 7 3 is a potent member of a family of eleven trisdecacyclic pyrazines characterized by Pettit.2 These materials are also highly active (10-g-10-10 M) in a

Three naturally occurring methyl-1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decanes have been prepared in good yield using organoselenium mediated reactions during the crucial cyclization process.
Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) mediated resolution of 6-heptene-2-ol afforded the enantiomers in high optical purities. Alkylation products of the dianion of the 2-4'-hydroxypentyl-1,3dithiane prepared from the enantiomers, followed by alkylative hydrolysis, afforded 97% optically pure E-7-methyl-1
