Employing an intramolecular Michael addition as a pivotal step, furan
4 has been converted to dioxaspiro compounds 5 and 6, whose heterocycl
ic frameworks constitute important structural units of 14,15-dihydropr
ehispanolone 3 and prehispanolone 1, respectively. Hispanolone 2 was c
onverted to 3 as well as 1 by utilizing a similar strategy.
