Diastereoselective Spiroannulation of Phenolic Substrates: Advances Towards the Asymmetric Formation of the Manumycin m-C7N Core Skeleton

The asymmetric syntheses of two new spirolactones prepared in optically pure form from L-3-nitrotyrosine are described. The key step, an oxidative spiroannulation, was carried out on the optically active phenols 11a and 11b and afforded the new spirolactones 5a and 5b in 85% and 83% yields, respecti...
