36. An analogous cascade reaction to afford spiroketals was previously reported, although this is not a catalytic reaction, and the stereoselectivity is only modest:, M. Tiecco, L. Testaferri, L. Bagnoli, C. Scarponi, A. Temperini, F. Marini, C. Santi, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 2006, 17, 2768.

56. Starting materials 1 were prepared through the synthetic routes described in the Supporting Information. Although the shorter route was employed only for the synthesis of 1 f and 1 g, it would also be applicable to the synthesis of other substrates.

60. A substrate bearing a racemic secondary alcohol was also investigated to afford a disubstituted spiroketal; two diastereomers were preferentially obtained with high enantioselectivities (82 %, d.r.=11:9.2:2.2:1, 92 % ee/73 % ee/97 % ee/33 % ee), while the recovered starting material was nearly racemic (17 %, 4 % ee; see the Supporting Information).
