title: Polyketide assembly by alkene-alkyne reductive cross-coupling: spiroketals through the union of homoallylic alcohols.
abstract: A reaction sequence composed of regioselective formal hydroalkynylation, reductive ene-yne cross-coupling, and oxidative cyclization has been developed to prepare stereochemically dense spiroketals. Overall, the chemistry defines a three-component coupling process for the union of two homoallylic alcohol-based substrates with trimethylsilylacetylene.
