Abstract
The lithium enolate of the acetonide of (S,S)-dimethyl tartrate 5 was prepared by treatment with lithium diisopropylamide in the presence of 12-crown-4, and added to acetonylacetone 6; reaction of the product w ith acid gave a mixture of cyclised adducts from which a single diaste reoisomer was isolated and shown to have a structure consistent with t he core of squalestatin.
