13. The strategy, which delivered the aglycon of heliquinomycin [Siu, T.; Qin, D. H.; Danishefsky, S. J. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2001, 40, 4713], employs a naphthafuran-3-one nucleus in the spiroketalization. Without the carbonyl, this related system undergoes elimination to the naphthafuran and therefore this strategy is not well suited for the rubromycins that exist in a lower oxidation state.

While the rearrangement reported herein seems to resemble the conversion of β-lapachone into α-lapachone, the latter rearrangement requires elevated temperature and harsh contions and results in a loss of optical activity.
