Squalestatin S1 1 has been converted into ots 4,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxymethyl) ether 4,5-dimethyl ester 11 and thence to its 3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino derivative 12 via a Schmidt degradation.Acid-catalysed hydrolysis of 12 brought about a molecular rearrangement of the 2,8-dioxa- to the novel 6,8-dioxa-bicyclooctane ring system 3.Oxidation of 3 followed by methanolysis gave the novel spiroketal 17.Treatment of 3 with trimethyl phosphonoacetate gave the acyclic derivative 18.
