Abstract

It has been demonstrated that an element of planar chirality can influence the formation of an adjacent spiroketal stereocenter. Appropriately functionalized enantiomerically pure 1- and 2-sulfinyl 1,3-dien-5-ones and their corresponding iron(0) tricarbonyl complexes (7, 17) have been prepared, and the derived spiroketals (8, 18) are made in good to excellent diastereoselectivity. A preliminary exploration of the combined effects of planar and central chirality upon the diastereoselectivity revealed matched and mismatched combinations (14).
