A convergent total synthesis of ouabagenin, an aglycon of cardenolide glycoside ouabain, was achieved by assembly of the AB-ring, D-ring and butenolide moieties.

A total synthesis of functionalised 8,14-seco steroids with five- and six-membered D rings is described. The synthesis is based on the transformation of (S)-carvone into a steroidal AB ring moiety with a side chain at C-9 that allowed the creation of a nitrile oxide at this position. The nitrile oxides were coupled with cyclic enones or enol derivatives of 1,3-diketones, and reductive cleavage of the obtained cycloadducts gave the desired products. The formation of a twelve-membered ring compound was observed in cycloaddition of one of the nitrile oxides with cyclopentenone as the result of an intramolecular ene-reaction followed by retroaldol reaction.

In connection with efforts to develop an efficient total synthesis of the biologically active natural product taxinine 1, the enzymatically-derived and monochiral cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 7 was converted, over several steps including a Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction, into the bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one 18. Reaction of the last compound with the organocerium reagent 22 afforded the 1,5-diene 23 which engaged in an anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement reaction to give, after C-methylation of the product enolate 25, bicyclo[5.3.1]undecenone 27 embodying the AB-ring system of target 1. Two methods for allylic oxidation of such products were developed and several unsuccessful attempts to effect a cyclization reaction so as to establish the taxane C-ring are described.
