T. Shimizu et al., SYNTHETIC STUDIES ON REVEROMYCIN-A - STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF THESPIROKETAL SYSTEM, Tetrahedron letters, 37(37), 1996, pp. 6755-6758
The 6,6-spiroketal system of reveromycin A (1), corresponding to the C
-9-C-20 part, was stereoselectively synthesized and the absolute confi
guration at C-11, C-12, C-15, C-18 and C-19 of 1 was confirmed by the
synthesis of the 5,6-spiroketal derivative degradated from 1. Copyrigh
