A highly selective oxidative [3 + 2] cycloaddition of chiral enol ethers and hydroxynaphthoquinone is described. This convergent strategy isamenable to an enantioselective synthesis of -rubromycin and related naphthoquinone spiroketals. Several compounds were found to inhibitDNA-polymerase and telomerase in a manner resembling -rubromycin and -rubromycin.
