title = "Synthetic studies of spiroketal enol ethers: an unexpected oxidation by Martin's sulfurane",
abstract = "In an attempt to synthesize a spiroketal enol ether natural product, we found that treatment of alcohol 5 with Martin's sulfurane did not give the anticipated olefin, but instead afforded ketone 15 through an unprecedented oxidation.",
