A short and efficient synthesis of model spiroiminals that have the same stereochemistry as marineosins A and B, but different conformations, was carried out in six or seven steps from 6-methyltetrahydropyran-2-one. These spiroiminals were also prepared biomimetically by reduction of an enol ether. A more highly substituted spiroiminal with the same stereochemistry and conformation as marineosin A was prepared in 11 steps from parasorbic acid. A macrocyclic pyrrole lactone was prepared stereospecifically in 10 steps. A five-step sequence converted the lactone to a late hemi-iminal intermediate that has resisted the methylation and spiroiminal formation that would lead to marineosin A.

The hypervalent iodine-mediated formation of steroidal 5/5-spiroiminals and 5/5-spiroaminals from steroidal amines is presented. Under the influence of excess PhI(OAc) and iodine in acetonitrile at 0 °C, steroidal amines smoothly underwent cyclization to give a mixture of 5/5-spiroiminals and 5/5-spiroaminals. This reaction represents the first example of a C-H-activation-mediated formation of a spiroiminal.

A concise approach to the spiroiminal fragment of marineosins A and B is described. The key steps involve an acid-catalyzed N-acyliminium ion cyclization and a Vilsmeier-Haack type reaction with Tf2O.

A model for the spiroiminal moiety of marineosins A and B was prepared starting from methylvalerolactone. Addition of vinylmagnesium bromide, protection of the alcohol, and reaction of the vinyl ketone with a protected pyrrole-2-carbonitrile N-oxide gave an isoxazoline. Hydrogenolysis of the N-O bond with Raney nickel gave a keto imine that cyclized to a hemi-iminal.
