Iodine monobromide (IBr) induces efficient electrophilic cyclizations of homoallylic t-butyl carbonates in toluene or methylene chloride al low temperature, affording significantly better diastereoselectivity than iodine (I2) in acetonitrile.

Iodine monobromide affords superior diastereoselectivity in low-temperature electrophilic cyclizations of homoallylic carbonates. Solvent and temperature effects and the scope and limitations of the method are discussed; optimal selectivity is obtained in toluene at -80 to -85-degrees-C. The latter protocol generally furnishes significantly enhanced selectivity, vis-a-vis the original procedure employing 12 in acetonitrile at -20-degrees-C; for example, the IBr-induced cyclization of 14 affords a 25.8:1 mixture of 15 and 16, whereas I2 gives an 8.4:1 ratio. An equilibration experiment established that the diastereoselectivity derives primarily or exclusively from kinetic control of the cyclization process.

A convergent, stereocontrolled synthesis of the spiroketal fragment of calyculins A-H has been achieved. Key transformations include the novel iodine monobromide-induced iodocarbonate cyclization of (+)-19, efficient coupling of epoxide (+)-14 with the sterically hindered dithiane 15, and a multi-step, one-pot conversion of open-chain precursor (-)-13 to spiroketal (+)-11.

An asymmetricsynthesis of the stereochemically fully endowed C(9−25) spiroketal fragment (+)-BC of the calyculins (1−8) is described. Highlights of the synthesis include: a highly diastereoselective IBr-induced iodocarbonate cyclization to introduce the C(21) stereocenter in epoxide (+)-18, fragment unions exploiting the reaction of acyl anion equivalents with epoxides to construct masked advanced
