Carbohydrate-Derived Spiroketals and Spirocyclic Lactones

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbohydrate-spiro-heterocycles

Part of the book series: Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry ((TOPICS,volume 57))

Abstract

Various methods for the synthesis of carbohydrate-derived spiroketals and spirocyclic lactones starting from endo- and exo-glycals are discussed. Further conversion of the spiroketals and spirolactones to the natural products is also emphasized wherever applicable.
