An efficient total synthesis of the cytotoxic spiroketal natural products aculeatin A and B is described. The synthesis of the 1,3,5-triol moiety with appropriate configuration was accomplished from the commercially available L-malic acid. The key steps in this synthesis are the Barbier allylation, LiAlH4/LiI-mediated syn-stereoselective 1,3-asymmetric reduction, and phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (=[bis(trifluoroacetoxy)iodo]benzene; PIFA) mediated oxidative spirocyclization.

The total synthesis of aculeatins A and B is described proving the versatility of Prins cyclization in natural product synthesis. The approach is convergent and highly stereoselective. Morpholine amide coupling with an alkyne and PIFA-mediated oxidative spirocyclization were utilized as key steps. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart - New York.
