Starting from ethyl 3-(1-naphthyl)propionate (1), the dibasic acid 4-(4-carboxy-ethyl-I-naphthyl)butyric acid (3) was prepared, which served as a key compound for the synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-4H-benz[de]anthraoene (6) by a double intramolecular cyclization. The monocyolization of the dibasic acid (3) gave rise by a preferential six-membered ring closure, to 3-(1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-phenanthryl)propionic acid (7). A partial synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-4H-benz[de]anthracene (6), by succinoylation of perinaphthane followed by usual synthetic steps, is reported as confirmatory evidence of the identity of (6) obtained by double cyclization of the diacid. Some aspects of the orientation of intramolecular acylation are discussed.

<div> <p>The total synthesis of principinol D, a rearranged kaurane diterpenoid, is reported. This grayanane natural product is constructed via a convergent fragment coupling approach, wherein the central 7-membered ring is synthesized at a late stage. The bicyclo[3.2.1]octane fragment is accessed by a Ni-catalyzed α-vinylation reaction. Strategic reductions include a diastereoselective SmI<sub>2</sub>-mediated ketone reduction with PhSH and a new protocol for selective ester reduction in the presence of ketones. The convergent strategy reported herein may be an entry point to the larger class of kaurane diterpenoids.</p> </div>

A stereoselective synthesis of the dibenzocyclooctadiene ­lignan core of the natural product schisandrene is described. Starting from readily available gallic acid, the synthetic strategy involves Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling, Stille reaction, and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) in the reaction sequence. The required asymmetric center at C-7′ was established by an asymmetric reduction of a keto compound using the Corey–Bakshi–Shibata (CBS) catalyst. In our approach, the eight-membered ring was achieved by RCM for the first time.

Treatment of the β-iodo enones 7–10 with lithium (phenylthio)(cyclopropyl)cuprate provided excellent yields of the corresponding β-cyclopropyl α,β-unsaturated ketones 11–14, respectively. When 3-isopropenyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one (16) was allowed to react with dimethyloxosulfonium methylide in dimethyl sulfoxide – tetrahydrofuran, 3-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one (17) was produced in 59% yield. Although thermal rearrangement (~425–450 °C) of compounds 11 and 17 produced high yields of the annulation products 19 and 22, respectively, similar reactions involving the β-cyclopropyl enones 12 and 13 were not efficient in terms of production of the corresponding bicyclic systems (23, 26, and/or 27, respectively). In these cases, predominant (24 + 25 from 12) or significant (28 + 29 from 13) amounts of monocyclic dienones were formed. The annulation product 22 served as a convenient starting material for a new formal total synthesis of the sesquiterpenoid (±)-zizaene (30). Conjugate addition of lithium divinylcuprate to 22 afforded the ketone 36 which was converted by standard methods (via 38 and 39) into the enone 40. Treatment of the latter substance with thiophenol in the presence of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride gave 41, which was transformed via ketalization (41 → 42), hydroboration(42 → 43), tosylation (43 → 44), and oxidation (44 → 45) into the sulfone 45. When the latter compound was treated with potassium tert-butoxide in hexamethylphosphoramide, the tricyclic ketal sulfone 46 was produced in 85% yield. Reduction of 46 with sodium amalgam afforded the ketal 47, which upon hydrolysis under mild conditions gave the ketone 32. Treatment of the latter substance with sodium methoxide in methanol provided a 1:2 mixture of the epimeric ketones 31 and 32, which had been converted previously by Coates and Sowerby into (±)-zizaene (30).
