RESUMO
A new synthesis of 3,3'-bioxindoles is reported that is well suited for the preparation of unsymmetrical structures. In the key step, 3-hydroxy-3,3'-bioxindoles are constructed by Mukaiyama aldol reaction of 2-siloxyindoles with isatins. These tertiary carbinols are formed in high diastereoselectivities, with substitution at various positions of the isatin and the 2-siloxyindole being tolerated.

A practical and efficient route to the CD spiroketal (C-16-C-28) of the spongistatins is reported. Two stereocenters are introduced from chiral building blocks with the remainder introduced by substrate-controlled transformations. The key beta-keto-1,3-dithiane intermediate is generated by a dithiol conjugate addition to an ynone and the 1,3-dithiane unit in the C-ring plays a key role in the spiroketalization and subsequent epimerization. The synthesis requires 24 steps, with a longest linear sequence of 19 steps in an overall yield of 14.5% (for the longest linear sequence). [reaction: see text]
RESUMO
The synthesis of the C-1-C-28 ABCD fragment of spongistatin is described. Anti-selective boron-mediated aldol coupling of a CD spiroketal ketone fragment to an AB spiroketal aldehyde unit forms the desired C1-C28 advanced intermediate. Other features include the double conjugate addition of a dithiol to an ynone to generate the key beta-keto-dithiane unit required for the synthesis of the AB spiroketal fragment. [reaction: see text]
