Hecogenin actetate 5 was converted to an intermediate suitable for construction of both "North" and "South" hexacyclic spiroketals present in cephalostatin 7.The key chemical transformations involved are: (1) the Reich iodoso syn-elimination of iodine 18; (2) Rhodium catalyzed intermolecular oxygen alkylation of secondary neopentyl alcohol 21; and (3) Intramolecular Wadsworth-Emmons reaction to provide the ester precursor of aldehyde 4.
α,β-epoxy vinyl triflates in Pd-catalyzed reactions

(matrix presented) Reactions of steroidal αβ-epoxy vinyl triflates in Pd-catalyzed reactions are described. Oxidative insertion of Pd0 into the C-O bond, giving vinylpalladium 12, is faster than formation of the π-allyl derivative from the vinyl epoxide. Although 12 can be trapped under certain conditions, it eventually rearranges to palladium alkoxide 14, which is in equilibrium with 15 and/or 10.
