The Diels–Alder reaction between maleic anhydride and racemic 5,5-dimethyl-3-vinylcyclohex-2-en-1-ol gives two racemic diastereomers, the major product (2a,S,3R,8aS,8bR)-7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-2a,3,4,6,7,8,8a,8b-octahydro-2H-benzo[cd]isobenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid (63% yield), and the minor product (2aR,3S,8aS,8bS)-7,7-dimethyl-2-oxo-2a,3,4,6,7,8,8a,8b-octahydro-2H-benzo[cd]isobenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid (9%). Epoxidation of the major product gives racemic (1aS,3R,3aS,5aR,8aS,8bR)-7,7-dimethyl-4 oxoperhydro-benzo[cd]oxireno[2,3-e]isobenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid in 81% yield, while opening of the epoxide ring gave the trans diol (2aS,3R,5S,5aR,8aR,8bR)-5,5a-dihydroxy-7,7-dimethyl-2-oxoperhydrobenzo[cd]isobenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid in 58% yield. Treatment of the major Diels–Alder product with osmium tetraoxide gave the cis diol (2aS,3R,5S,5aR,8aS,8bR)-5,5a-dihydroxy-7,7-dimethyl-2-oxoperhydrobenzo[cd]isobenzofuran-3-carboxylic acid in 86% yield. The structures of four products were confirmed by X-ray and n.m.r. methods. None of the products exhibit anticancer activity.

After hydrogenation and hydrolysis, the two adducts formed from the Diels-Alder reaction of acryloyl chloride and 4,5,6,6a-tetrahydropentalene were originally assigned 7-exo- and 7-endo-carboxylic acid structures 3 and 4. Based on unexpected results in using these acids as starting materials for a superacid carbocation study, a reinvestigation of these structural assignments was carried out. From an extensive series of 2D NMR experiments, we conclude that 4 is correctly assigned, but that the other isomer is the 9-endo carboxylic acid 8. The formation of these two isomers (out of eight possible modes of addition) can be rationalized. Finally, an X-ray study of 8 was carried out as a final proof of structure.Key words: Diels-Alder reaction, facial selectivity, regioselectivity, X-ray structure, MO calculation.

AbstractThe hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 1-(2-furyl)-3-(dimethylamino)-2-propene-1-thione (diene) with maleic and fumaric acids, and β-nitrostyrenes yielded 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiopyran derivatives. Treatment of some of those cycloadducts with acetic acid caused elimination of dimethylamine yielding stable 2H-thiopyrans. Reaction of the diene with maleic anhydride furnished a cycloadduct which underwent spontaneous rearrangement to form an N,N-dimethylamide derivative. Cycloadditions of the diene to maleimide, N-phenylmaleimide, diethyl maleate, fumarate and butenolide, carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride,were followed by elimination of dimethylamine, afforded stable 2H-thiopyran derivatives.

The title tetrone compound, C32H22N2O4S· 0.5C8H10, is the major product (50% yield) of an attempted Diels–Alder reaction of 2-(α-styryl)thiophene withN-phenylmaleimide (2 equivalents) in toluene. Recrystallization of the resulting powder fromp-xylene gave the title hemisolvate; thep-xylene molecule is located about an inversion center. In the crystal, the primary tetrone contacts are between a carbonyl O atom and the four flagpole H atoms of the bicyclo[2.2.2]octene core, forming chains along [001].
