Alternative spiroketalization methods toward purpuromycin: a diketone approach to prevent benzofuran formation.
The central portion of purpuromycin has been assembled via a classical spiroketalization reaction. Key to promoting this reaction mode versus benzofuran formation was the oxidation state of the spiroketal core. With a higher oxidation state, even the electron-deficient isocoumarin found in purpuromycin could be employed directly in the spiroketalization. The two halves of the spiroketalization precursor were joined via a nitrile oxide/styrene 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. A very mild selenium dioxide oxidation was used to introduce the required oxidation state of the spiroketal core.

Investigation of a convergent route to purpuromycin: benzofuran formation vs spiroketalization.
[Structure: see text] A mild and efficient [3+2] nitrile oxide/olefin cycloaddition allows coupling of the highly functionalized naphthalene and isocoumarin hemispheres of purpuromycin. A rationale of the inability of advanced keto alcohols to spirocyclize is presented based upon a systematic examination of the electronic factors present in these systems and suggests that the biosynthesis of purpuromycin does not proceed through open-chain intermediates.
