Abstrakt: Initial efforts toward the total synthesis of the antifungal antibiotics spirofungins A and B are reported. A short and efficient synthesis of the C9−C20 6,6-spiroketal fragments of both compounds is described. This asymmetric approach uses a very efficient alkylation of a lithiated N,N-dimethylhydrazone followed by spiroketal formation under acidic conditions.
