The intramolecular Diels-Alder approach to synthesizing eunicellins has proved to be a powerful method for the synthesis of this class of natural products. The key to the success of this strategy is control over the endo/exo selectivity of the cycloaddition reaction, which we have addressed through an organocatalytic reaction employing the MacMillan imidazolidinone catalyst. This approach has been further developed to address the issue of functionality at the C8 position, and a novel scalable method for the extension of the medium-ring lactone has been developed.

The synthesis of a hydroxylated vinyl-appended lactone, in five synthetic steps from tartaric acid, is reported. The C2-symmetrical bis-vinyl diol 12 was converted into the ketene acetal 14 via methylenation of the cyclic carbonate 13 or thermal elimination of benzeneselenenic acid from the selenoxide 17. In both cases, the in situ generated ketene acetal 14 underwent spontaneous Claisen rearrangement to give the nine-membered lactone (+)-15. Lactones of this type are potentially advanced precursors to simplified eleutherobin analogues or other medium-ring lactone natural products.

The enantiomerically pure cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 3, which is obtained in quantity by microbial dihydroxylation of toluene, has been converted over ten steps, including an initial Diels–Alder cycloaddition reaction, into the tricyclic ketone 12. Direct irradiation of a benzene solution of the latter compound affords a mixture of compounds 13 and 14 which embody the tricyclic frameworks of the sesquiterpene natural products tsugicoline A (1) and isovelleral (2), respectively.

Enantioselective Syntheses

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.
