The synthesis of highly substituted hydroanthraquinone derivatives with up to three stereogenic centres via a Diels–Alder reaction, starting from easily accessible 2-substituted naphthoquinones, is described. The [4+2]-cycloaddition is applicable for a broad range of substrates, runs under mild conditions and results in high yields. The highly regioselective outcome of the reactions is enabled by a benzoyl substituent at C2 of the dienophiles. The obtained hydroanthraquinones can be further modified and represent ideal substrates for follow-up intramolecular coupling reactions to create unique bicyclo[3.3.1] or -[3.2.2]nonane ring systems which are important natural product skeletons.

The simple, convenient, and efficient methods for the preparation of unsymmetrical vinyl disulfides with additional functional groups under mild conditions with moderate to high yields were designed. The developed methods include the reaction of S-vinyl phosphorodithioate with thiotosylates or S-vinyl thiotosylate with thiols. The designed methods allow for the synthesis of unsymmetrical vinyl disulfides with additional functionalities such as hydroxy, carboxy, protected amino, or ester groups. Vinyl disulfides reacted with the generated transient o-iminothioquinones in an inverse electron-demand [4+2] cycloaddition to produce benzo[b][1,4]thiazine derivatives.

The anomeric imido esters 5 and 6, appropriate precursors for C-nucleoside synthesis, were prepared and utilized as heterodienophiles in a Diels-Alder reaction with inverse electron demand to yield the novel, protected 1.2.4-triazine C-nucleosides 8 and 9. They could be deprotected by treatment with 70% trifluoroacetic acid to furnish the free C-nucleosides 10 and 11. The triazine „aglycon“ of 8 contains an electron deficient diazadiene system, highly activated to react with various electron rich dienophiles such as enamines, enol ethers and several cyclic ketene acetals in an „inverse“ [4+2]-cycloaddition reaction. The Diels-Alder adducts spontaneously eliminate N2 and after follow-up reactions the O-TBDPS protected pyridine-C-nucleosides 13, 15, 17,19, 21 and 23 are formed. Removal of the protecting group by treatment with CF3CO2H /H2O leads to the corresponding 2’,3’-dideoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl- pyridines.

The transannular Diels–Alder reaction of 15-membered macrocyclic trienes with a trans-trans-cis (TTC) olefin geometry can lead to A.B.C.[6.6.7] tricyclic products of trans-syn-trans (TST) and cis-syn-cis (CSC) stereochemistry whereas the TTT isomers can produce the trans-anti-cis (TAC) and cis-anti-trans (CAT) tricycles. In order to study the influence of the position (pro-6.6 or pro-6.7) and the nature (alkyl, alkoxymethyl, or formyl) of the dienophile substituent, a set of 10 model cyclopentadecatrienes was prepared. The synthesis of appropriately functionalized trisubstituted dienophile and diene synthons, as well as their coupling reactions affording acyclic precursors, is described in this paper (first in a series of two). A mild and efficient macrocyclization protocol yielded the required methyl- or alkoxymethyl-substituted cyclic substrates. Further transformations led to the formyl-substituted ones. In particular, the TTT macrocycles containing an enal as a dienophile could be completely isomerized to the corresponding TTC thermodynamic isomers in acidic aqueous media. Keywords: transannular, Diels–Alder, 15-membered ring, A.B.C.[6.6.7] tricycles, diterpene.

An enantioselective hetero-Diels–Alder reaction of alkylidene­ oxindoles and 2-aza-3-silyloxy-1,3-butadienes, catalyzed by divalent transition metal complexes with N,N′-dioxide ligands offered an efficient access to natural-product-based 3,3′-piperidinoyl spiroox­indole class of small molecules. exo-Cycloadducts formed via stereospecific cycloaddition with Z-olefin displayed potent activity in modulation of hedgehog pathway.

On treating 1,3,4-tribromo-1,1,2,2-tetrafluorobutane, readily prepared from commercially available 4-bromo-3,3,4,4-tetrafluorobut-1-ene, with 3.3 equivalents of LHMDS at 0 °C in THF, the corresponding lithium acetylide could be prepared quantitatively. The acetylide reacted well with various aldehydes, ketones, or chlorosilanes to give the corresponding acetylene derivatives in high yields. It was also found that various iodoarenes could participate in the cross-coupling reaction with the zinc acetylide, readily prepared from the lithium acetylide and ZnCl2·TMEDA complex, in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 to bring about the adducts in high yields. Thus-obtained acetylene derivatives underwent smooth Diels–Alder reaction with various 1,3-dienes to afford the corresponding 1,4- or 1,3-cyclohexadiene derivatives. In addition, it was revealed that the oxidative aromatization of the resulting cyclohexadiene derivatives with DDQ took place very smoothly, providing the multi-substituted benzene derivatives having a tetrafluoro­ethylene group.

The first total synthesis of the norcembranoid diterpenoid scabrolide A is disclosed. The route begins with the synthesis of two chiral pool-derived fragments, which undergo a convergent coupling to expediently introduce all 19 carbon atoms of the natural product. An intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction and an enone-olefin cycloaddition/fragmentation sequence are then employed to construct the fused [5–6–7] linear carbocyclic core of the molecule and to complete the total synthesis.

A highly efficient enantioselective nitroso Diels–Alder reaction of 6-methyl-2-nitroso pyridine with various 1,3-dienes was successfully developed using a copper(i)/(S)–TF-BiphamPhos complex as the catalyst. For most of the cyclic dienes, the cycloadducts were obtained in high yields with excellent regio-, and stereoselectivities. Acyclic 2-silyloxy-1,3-diene also worked well in the reaction.
