44. 2] an excess of the reagents at 50 °C was required in order to reach full conversion of 19, but a partial degradation was also observed thus explaining the moderate 50% yield.
45. Hypothetical structure for 33
46. This side reaction was not observed by Paterson et al. (3, 4) probably because acetonide protecting groups are more labile than TBS ethers, thus allowing the use of soft acidic conditions for their deprotection. Kalesse et al. (4) clearly mentioned that when TBS ethers were used instead of TES ethers the deprotection/spiroketalisation step failed.
47. The protection of the C27 hydroxyl group as a PMB ether was first envisioned in order to avoid the side reaction observed during the HF·Py mediated spiroketalization step. Unfortunately, the iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of 34 with (E)-1-methyl-1-propenylmagnesium bromide failed in the presence of the PMB ether group, and consequently, the synthesis of the aldehyde partner for the aldol coupling could not be completed.

50. At this stage, we had to transform the carbamate group into an iodide in order to install the C30-C31 double bond by mean of an iron-catalyzed cross-coupling. In that goal, we first envisioned a protection of the four alcohols as TES ethers, but unfortunately, a degradation of the substrate was observed in presence of TESOTf, thus unabling us to complete the synthesis of spiroketal 1.
