3 Common Approach to Spiroketal Synthesis 3 + Common synthesis of these motifs are through acid-mediated processes. Please propose a mechanism and the two potential stereoisomers that could arise from this reaction. Lastly, identify under thermodynamic conditions, which isomer is favored and why. 3

7 Conformational Locking to Access Non-Anomeric Motifs 1. Must be a clear difference between the anomeric and non-anomeric configuration. 2. The ring confirmation must be effectively locked to prevent ring-flipping to the anomeric conformer. R R 3. Intramolecular -Bonding. 4. Macrocyclic structures can favor non-anomeric spiroketals.
