Strategies for Spiroketal Synthesis Based on Transition-Metal Catalysis

Abstract

The transition-metal-catalyzed synthesis of spiroketals is a rapidly growing area and these methods have facilitated the use of new spiroketal synthons as latent spiroketal equivalents. This review highlights the different substrate classes and provides select examples of applications in natural product synthesis.
