title: Enantio- and diastereoselective allylmetalations: an easy and efficient access to the AB spiroketal of spongistatin.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A unique combination of highly enantio- and diastereoselective allylmetalations and a one-pot "desacetalization/spiroketalization" have been employed to synthesize the AB spiroketal fragment (C1-C13) of spongistatin in 15 steps and in excellent diastereoselectivity.
