We confirm the previously revised stereochemistry of spiroviolene by X-ray crystallographically characterizing a hydrazone derivative of 9-oxo-spiroviolane, which is synthesized from hydroboration-oxidation of spiroviolene followed by oxidation of the resultant hydroxy group. An unexpected thermal boron migration occurred during the hydroboration process of spiroviolene, that have resulted in the production of a mixture of 1α-hydroxy-spiroviolane, 9α- and 9β-hydroxy-spiroviolane after oxidation. The assertion of the cis-oriented 19- and 20-methyl groups has provided further support for the revised cyclization mechanism of spiroviolene.
