Ready Access to [5,6,5]-Trioxa-spiro and Fused Ketals via Ag-Catalyzed Cascade Annulation of 4-Pentyn-1-ols and Aldehydes.

In this study, we unveil the versatility of 4-pentyn-1-ols as carbonyl surrogates for the unprecedented synthesis of diverse oxygen heterocycles, including [5,6,5]-bis-spiroketals (trioxadispiroketals) and [5,6,5]-furano-spiroketals related to bioactive natural products. These reactions commence with the π-activation-induced intramolecular hydroalkoxylation of 4-pentyn-1-ols, yielding cyclic enol ethers, which undergo subsequent three-component annulation with aldehydes in a [2+2+1+1] fashion, resulting in the formation of [5,6,5]-bis-spiroketals. Notably, the distinctive steric features of alkynyl alcohols, particularly those with a secondary or tertiary alcohol functionality, dictate divergent reaction pathways, leading to the formation of [5,6,5]-furano-spiroketals.

A copper-catalyzed [3+2] annulation reaction of exocyclic enamines/enol ethers with 1,4-benzoquinone esters has been developed, providing facile access to N,O-spiroketals and spiroketals under mild conditions with broad substrate scope (26 examples, 71-94 % yields). Gram scale synthesis and chemical transformations demonstrated that this method is potentially useful in the synthesis of natural products and drugs containing a N,O- spiroketal moiety. The chiral N,O-spiroketal could be obtained with 98 % ee after recrystallization, when a chiral SaBOX ligand was employed.

Artemisia pallens Wall. ex DC (Asteraceae) is cultivated for the production of high-value essential oil from its aerial biomass. In this study, the chemical composition of the root (crop-residue) essential oil was investigated for the first time, using column-chromatography, GC-FID, GC-MS, LC-QTOF, and NMR techniques, which led to the identification of twenty constituents, with isolation of (E)-2-(2',4'-hexadiynylidene)-1,6-dioxaspiro [4.

Contrary to our previous report in which a Pd-catalyzed three-component reaction of a steroid alkynol, trimethyl orthoformate, and salicylaldehyde exclusively produced chroman ketals, the same reaction employing 2,5-dihydroxysalicylaldehyde led to a mixture of a chroman ketal and a spiroketal. Provided that both courses of the reaction imply a 4 + 2 inverse demand cycloaddition between an -quinone methide and an enol ether, density functional theory calculations revealed that the chroman ketal/spiroketal selectivity is governed by both, the rate of the formation of the -quinone methide and the isomerization of the initially produced exocyclic enol ether─that led to the spiroketal─to its endocyclic partner that produces the chroman ketal. Remarkably, Lewis catalysis is central to the observed reactivity, and the availability of plausible catalytic species controls the overall chemoselectivity.

Synergistic bioassay-guided isolation of the extracts of L, which belongs to the family Asteraceae, afforded two acetylenic spiroketal enol ethers, namely rupesdiynes A () and B (). Their structures were determined based on spectroscopic analysis and experimental and calculated ECD investigations. The two compounds exhibited synergistic activity and were able to reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of oxacillin four-fold, with a fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) of 0.
