      abstract = {A diastereoselective method of preparing benzofuran-based  4,5-spirocycles via metal catalyzed alkenylation is  described. The method can be used to provide compounds  containing the benzofuranone-4,5-spirocyclic motif of the  phainanoids, a class a natural products having  immunosuppressive activity. Synthetic analogs of  phainanoids, e.g., compounds that mimic the structure of  the “western” part of the structure of the phainanoids and  that contain the benzofuranone-4,5-spirocycle are  described, as well as their synthetic intermediates, and  their methods of synthesis.},
