Herein, we report a concise enantioselective synthesis of (–)-allosecurinine, a tetracyclic Securinega alkaloid featuring an α,β-unsaturated γ-lactone moiety. Starting from inexpensive and readily available trans-l-hydroxyproline, our strategy entails a rare late-stage [2+2+1]-hetero-Pauson–Khand cycloaddition between a ketone and an alkyne as the key complexity-generating step to rapidly install the CD-ring system. The reported W(CO)6-promoted intramolecular cyclization provides the first example of a tungsten-mediated hetero-Pauson–Khand reaction. This approach to the strained bicyclic CD motif present in ­allosecurinine provides some insights into the boundaries of this potentially powerful methodology that might be further extended to other butenolide-containing natural products.

<div>An efficient strategy for the synthesis of the potent phospholipase A2 inhibitors spongidine A and D is presented. The tetracyclic core of the natural products was assembled via an intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer‐initiated Minisci reaction. A divergent late‐stage functionalization of the tetracyclic ring system was also used to achieve a concise synthesis of petrosaspongiolide L methyl ester.</div>

Background: The Diels-Alder reaction has been widely utilised in the syntheses of biologically important natural products over the years and continues to greatly impact modern synthetic methodology. Recent discovery of chiral organocatalysts, auxiliaries and ligands in organic synthesis has paved the way for their application in Diels-Alder chemistry with the goal to improve efficiency as well as stereochemistry. Objective: The review focuses on asymmetric syntheses of flavonoid Diels-Alder natural products that utilize chiral ligand-Lewis acid complexes through various illustrative examples. Conclusion: It is clear from the review that a significant amount of research has been done investigating various types of catalysts and chiral ligand-Lewis acid complexes for the enantioselective synthesis of flavonoid Diels-Alder natural products. The results have demonstrated improved yield and enantioselectivity. Much emphasis has been placed on the synthesis but important mechanistic work aimed at understanding the enantioselectivity has also been discussed.
