The first total synthesis of the benzannulated spiroketal virgatolide A is presented. Key features include sp3-sp2 Suzuki coupling of an enantiomerically enriched β-trifluoroboratoamide and an aryl bromide, regioselective intramolecular carboalkoxylation, and a 1,3-anti-selective Mukaiyama aldol reaction followed by global deprotection/cyclization with regioselectivity governed by internal hydrogen bonding.
Total synthesis of virgatolide b via exploitation of intramolecular hydrogen bonding

A full account of the enantioselective total synthesis of virgatolide B is reported. Key features of the synthesis include an sp3-sp2 Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of a β-trifluoroboratoamide with an aryl bromide, regioselective intramolecular carboalkoxylation, and a 1,3-anti-selective Mukaiyama aldol reaction. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding governed the regioselectivity of the key spiroketalization step, affording the natural product as a single regioisomer.
