We report on the preparation of novel 1′-homonucleoside derivatives locked in a West conformation by 1′,4′-bridge consisting of annulated benzene or naphthalene ring. The crucial step of the synthesis was Diels–Alder reaction of an appropriate aryne with a suitable furane derivative. Antiviral properties of novel compounds were studied and slight activity against HCV was detected in several compounds.

(1R*,2R*,3R*,4S*)-7-Oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dimethanol (10) and (1R*,2R*,3R*,4S*)-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene-2,3-dimethanol (14), which were prepared by the Diels–Alder reaction and subsequent reduction with lithium aluminium hydride, were treated with benzyl azidoformate to give benzylN-[(1R*,2R*,3S*,6S*,7S*,9S*)-9-(hydroxymethyl)-4,8-dioxatricyclo[4.2.1.03,7]nonan-2-yl]carbamate (11) and benzylN-[(1R*,2R*,3R*,6R*,7S*,10S*)-10-(hydroxymethyl)-4-oxatricyclo[4.3.1.03,7]decan-2-yl]carbamate (15). Hydrogenolysis of carbamates11or15afforded (1R*,2R*,3S*,6S*,7S*,9S*)-2-amino-4,8-dioxatricyclo[4.2.1.03,7]nonane-9-methanol (12) or (1R*,2R*,3R*,6R*,7S*,10S*)-2-amino-4-oxatricyclo[4.3.1.03,7]decane-10-methanol (16). The amines12and16were transformed to thymine and purine nucleoside analogues. The target compounds were tested for the activity againstCoxsackievirus.

d-Ribose was converted into 3 novel carbobicyclic nucleosides bearing a bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane framework in 16–19 steps with 5–12% overall yields involving a Wittig olefination and an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction as the key steps.

Hydroboration of [(1R*,2R*,4R*)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl]methyl benzoate (5), which was prepared by Diels–Alder reaction of furan with acrolein and subsequent reduction and benzoylation of the Diels–Alder product, afforded [(1R*,2S*,4S*,6S*)-6-hydroxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]methyl benzoate (6) and [(1R*,2R*,4R*,5S*)-5-hydroxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]methyl benzoate (7). The key intermediates, [(1R*,2S*,4S*,6R*)-6-hydroxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]methyl benzoate (10) and [(1R*,2R*,4R*,5R*)-5-hydroxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]methyl benzoate (11), were prepared from6and7, respectively, by oxidation with pyridinium dichromate and subsequent reduction of the thus obtained ketones. The Mitsunobu reaction of10and11with 6-chloropurine and subsequent reductive deprotection with diisobutylaluminium hydride afforded 6-chloropurine derivatives, which were converted to other purine analogues. Thymine analogues were prepared by Mitsunobu reaction of10and11with 3-benzoyl-5-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione and subsequent methanolysis. The target compounds were tested for the activity againstCoxsackievirus.

We analyze the mechanism of the topochemically controlled difunctionalization of C60 and anthracene, where an anthracene molecule is transferred from one C60 monoadduct to another one under exclusive formation of equal amounts of C60 and the difficult to make antipodal C60 bisadduct. Our herein disclosed dispersion corrected DFT studies show the anthracene transfer to take place in a synchronous retro Diels-Alder/Diels-Alder reaction: an anthracene molecule dissociates from one fullerene under formation of an intermediate, while already undergoing stabilizing interactions with both neighboring fullerenes, facilitating the reaction kinetically. In the intermediate, a planar anthracene molecule is sandwiched between two neighboring fullerenes and forms equally strong "double-decker" type pi-pi stacking interactions with both of these fullerenes. Analysis with the distorsion interaction model shows that the anthracene unit of the intermediate is almost planar with minimal distorsions. This analysis sheds light on the existence of noncovalent interactions engaging both faces of a planar polyunsaturated ring and two convex fullerene surfaces in an unprecedented 'inverted sandwich' structure. Hence, it sheds light on new strategies to design functional fullerene based materials.<br>

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.
