title: Studies on the synthesis of gymnodimine. construction of the spiroimine portion via Diels-Alder cycloaddition.
abstract: An azaspiro[5.5]undecadiene corresponding to a subunit of the shellfish toxin gymnodimine was synthesized by Diels-Alder cycloaddition. One member of the pair of stereoisomeric adducts was transformed to a spiroimine, which will serve as the core around which the macrocyclic portion of the toxin will be assembled.
