benzopyran ring system of xyloketals is described. An orthoester Claisen rearrangement of a chromenol and an intra-molecular cationic cyclization are the key steps in the synthesis. A short, stereocontrolled and high yield synthesis of the phytotoxic metabolite alboatrin was achieved employing this strategy. A unique case of Lewis acid catalyzed isomerization of epi-alboatrin to alboatrin was observed.
