Oxidation of grayanotoxin (GTX) II with lead (IV) acetate in methanol gave a new derivative, the 1(R)-spiro-3,6(S),14,16-tetrahydroxy-5-keto derivative. Treatment of GTX-II tetraacetate in acetic acid by using Pb(IV) acetate as an oxidizing agent gave a novel 1,5-seco-GTX derivative, Delta(1(10))-1,5-seco-GTX-pentaacetate, together with the 1,5-seco-GTX-1(R) derivative. Oxidation of GTX-II-tetraacetate with Tl(III)) acetate in acetic acid or benzene gave the 1,5-seco-GTX-1(S) derivative.
