title: Synthesis of spiroacetal-triazoles as privileged natural product-like scaffolds using "click chemistry".
abstract: The elaboration of a 6,6-spiroacetal scaffold to incorporate a triazole unit as a peptide bond surrogate at the anomeric position is described. The novel spiroacetal-triazole hybrid structures were generated via cycloaddition of a spiroacetal azide to a series of alkynes. The spiroacetal framework was constructed via Barbier reaction of bromide 10 with Weinreb amide 11, followed by acid-catalysed deprotection and cyclisation to afford the 6,6-spiroacetal ring system. The resultant ethoxy-spiroacetal 8 was converted to spiroacetal azide 5, which was then elaborated into a series of spiroacetal-triazole derivatives 7.
