An efficient total synthesis of d,l-coronafacic acid (2) has been achieved from 4-cyclopentene-1,3-dione (4). The synthesis involves keto ester 7 as a key intermediate that is conveniently prepared by the Diels–Alder addition of enedione 4 to ethyl 4-ethyl-2,4-pentadienoate (5).

A total synthesis of androstane derivatives is described. The desired configuration at C8 and at C13 is achieved in a ring C forming SnCl4-catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction. The preparation of methyl Z-2-methyl-4-oxo-2-pentenoate and the cyclization of a keto ester to a steroid 15,17-dione are also reported.

A total synthesis of the structurally novel, antimicrobial diterpenoid (±)-8,15-diisocyano-11(20)-amphilectene (2) is described. Alkylation of 2-methoxycarbonyl-3-methylcyclohexanone (13) with (E)-1-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-6-iodo-3-(trimethylstannyl)-2-hexene (14) provided, stereoselectively, the functionalized keto ester 15, which was converted efficiently into the diene 17. Diels–Alder reaction of 17 with acrolein, followed by base-catalyzed equilibration of the resultant product mixture, gave the aldehydes 19 (58%) and 20 (29%). Allylic oxidation of the alkene 24 (derived from 19) afforded the enone 25. Reduction (Na, NH3, t-BuOH) of 25 gave 28, which was converted, via a sequence of eight synthetic steps, into the diacid 45. Efficient transformation of the carboxyl functions of 45 into isonitrile groups completed the synthesis of (±)-2.

The efficient, stereoselective syntheses of two diastereomeric bicyclo[3.2.1]octadiones (23 and 24) are described and the potential use of these materials for the synthesis of the copa (1–5) and the ylango (7–11) sesquiterpenoids, respectively, is outlined. Conversion of (+)-carvomenthone (26) into the corresponding n-butylthiomethylene derivative 28, followed by alkylation of the latter with ethyl 2-iodopropionate, gave compound 29. Removal of the blocking group from the latter was accompanied by ester hydrolysis and afforded keto acid 30. An efficient intramolecular Claisen condensation of the corresponding ester 31 yielded (−)-(1S,4S,5R,7R)-1,7-dimethyl-4-isopropylbicyclo[3.2.1]octa-6,8-dione(23). Conversion of the known octalone 39 into the cross-conjugated keto aldehyde 41 was accomplished by standard reactions. Treatment of the latter with lithium dimethylcuprate, followed by trapping of the resultant enolate anion with acetyl chloride gave compound 42. Oxidative ozonolysis of this material yielded the keto acid 43. Esterification of the latter, followed by intramolecular Claisen condensation of the resulting keto ester 45, afforded (+)-(1R,4S,5S,7S)-1,7-dimethyl-4-isopropylbicyclo[3.2.1]octa-6,8-dione (24).

A total synthesis of α-himachalene (2) and β-himachalene (3) has been achieved in eleven steps and in an effective overall yield of 21% from 4,4-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenone (4). The synthesis involves keto ester 7 as a key intermediate which is conveniently prepared by the Diels–Alder addition of dienone ester 6 to isoprene.
