Abstract
Periploside A is the prototypical congener of the pregnane glycosides occurring in the Chinese medicinal plant Periploca sepium, featuring a unique seven-membered formyl acetal bridged spiro-orthoester (FABO) sugar linkage and potent immunosuppressive activities. This account details our efforts on the stereoselective construction of the FABO motif that has led to a successful total synthesis of periploside A.
1 Introduction

3 Synthesis of the FABO Motif Bearing the Unnatural Anomeric Configuration
4 Synthesis of the FABO Motif Bearing the Natural Anomeric Configuration
4.1 Unsuccessful Attempts
4.2 Final Solution
5 Conclusion

- 23 One reviewer of this manuscript suggests that the preference of conformations of the seven-membered FABO rings (in 63 and 64) may be a factor determining the stereoselectivity if the orthoester formation reaction proceeds through a late stage (product-like) transition state.
