Abstract

Total syntheses of the spiro-epimeric natural products (-)-heliespirone A and (+)-heliespirone C are described. The successful strategy involved an aromatic Claisen rearrangement, a diastereoselective Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) reaction, and an intramolecular oxa-Michael addition.
