Abstract

A strategy for the synthesis of spiroketal compounds through a tandem iodocyclization of 1-(2-ethynylphenyl)-4-hydroxybut-2-yn-1-one derivatives is presented. This reaction could proceed under very mild conditions in a short time and avoid the use of expensive and toxic metal catalysts. Moreover, the resulting halides can be further exploited by subsequent palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions, which act as the important intermediates for building other valuable compounds.
