In Diels-Alder reactions between cyclopentadiene and the isomeric 3-phenylsulfinylprop-2-enoic acids and methyl esters, greatest stereoselectivity (94% d.e.) results when methyl (2)-3-phenylsulfinylprop-2-enoate (7) and benzene solvent are used. The major diastereoisomer, methyl (2-endo,3-endo,S-syn)-3-phenylsulfinylnorborn-5-ene-2-carboxylate (8), also predominates when silica gel or aluminiumchloride catalysts are used, but is formed in lesser amount to the anti-epimer (9) in the presence of stannic chloride. Stereoselectivity of the reaction is decreased as reaction rate accelerates. Mixturesof all four possible diastereoisomers are formed in reactions with (E)-3-phenylsulfinylprop-2-enoic acid (15) and its methyl ester (16), and the ratios of products vary with catalyst and solvent. The stereochemistry at sulfur in these adducts has been correlated unambiguously by chemical and spectroscopic methods.

Methyl (Z)-3-phenylsulfinylprop-2-enoate undergoes Diels -Alder reactions with furan, 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran and anthracene but chemical and stereochemical courses of the reactions are very dependent upon reaction conditions. Thus, with furan, cis,endo - and cis,exo - adducts are formed exclusively; with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran cis,endo - and cis,exo -adducts are formed at low temperatures, whilst the corresponding trans-adducts are formed upon heating; with anthracene where high temperatures are required for condensation cis- and trans-adducts arise together with products from further thermal reactions.

Stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl)-2-pentenoate 11 affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (12) which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 14 steps from cyclopentadiene. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl epimer of 12 affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene.

Stereoselective total syntheses of (±)-sinularene and (±)-5-epi-sinularene are described. The sequence employs a "blocked" cyclopentadiene in which the cyclopropane unit also serves as a latent methyl group. Thus intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of the substituted methyl spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-dien-1-yl-2-pentenoate 13c affords 5-benzyloxy-6-isopropyl-8-carbomethoxytetracyclo[5.4.01,7.02,4.02,9]undec-10-ene (14c), which after selective hydrogenolysis generates the tricyclo[4.4.01,6.02,8]decane (sinularene) ring system. Removal of the secondary hydroxyl function by elimination and hydrogenation (Ph3P/CCl4/CH3CN; H2/Pd/C), reduction of the methyl ester (LiAlH4), and introduction of the exocyclic double bond (acetate pyrolysis, 550 °C) completes the synthesis of (±)-sinularene in 12 steps from aldehyde 7. A parallel series of reactions employing the isopropyl triene epimer 13a affords (±)-5-epi-sinularene. X-ray analyses of the triene 13a and the adduct 14a are also reported.

Starting from pheophorbide a methyl ester (5), a degradation product of chlorophyll a, routes for the preparation of 3-vinylporphyrins 6 and 9 and of an [A,C]-divinylporphyrin 16 are described. These porphyrins were obtained as a result of chemical modification of 5 on ring D and the exocyclic ring E. Diels–Alder reactions of these (di)vinylporphyrins with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate, to afford new regiochemically pure benzoporphyrin derivatives 29 and 30 and dibenzoporphyrin derivative 33 for potential use as sensitizers in photodynamic therapy of tumors, were also investigated. Keywords: Diels–Alder, (di)vinylporphyrins, (di)benzoporphyrins, photodynamic therapy, chlorophyll.
