Furfural is converted to suitably substituted AB synthon 21 for 12a-deoxypillaromycinone in 10 steps by a sequence involving the following key steps: intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of a furan, 5-endo-trig cleavage of the oxabicyclo adducts 18, and catalytic hydrogenation of the double bond of a tetrasubstituted enone to produce 19. Enones 21a and 21b obtained by dehydrogenation of 19a and 19b, respectively, are then annulated with ethyl 2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoate in a four-step procedure to generate tetracyclic products 25 in 14 steps from furfural.

First Time

The preparation of a variety of structurally interesting oxygenated cage compounds involving atom-economic processes such as Claisen rearrangement, Diels–Alder reaction, [2+2] photocycloaddition, and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as key steps is reported. For the first time, oxepane ring system is introduced in cage framework using olefin metathesis as a key step. These cage systems assembled here are difficult to prepare by traditional methods. The synthetic sequence described here opens up new routes to higher order polycycles containing heteroatoms without the involvement of protecting groups. Transannular cyclization observed during Grignard addition and the RCM protocol used here may be applicable to generate unknown oxygenated cage systems.

Abstract Different bis-maleimides are found to have different efficiencies and reactivities in the crosslinking of CIIR in the presence of zinc oxide. Although the degrees of crosslinking of CIIR by bis-maleimides cannot be defined absolutely, some trends concerning the efficiencies of the crosslinking are evident. In general, the aromatic bis-maleimides gave higher degrees of crosslinking than the aliphatic analogs. The reactivity and crosslinking efficiency of an individual bis-maleimide is very much affected by its end-to-end chain length and its electronic distribution, resulting from the interaction between the maleimide groups, and from the interaction between the maleimide groups and other functional groups present in the same molecule. The longer the bis-maleimide molecule and the more electron deficient the maleimido double bond, the greater its effectiveness as a crosslinking agent. Other curing mechanisms, possibly including polymerization of the maleimido groups, appear to be operative when using aromatic bis-maleimides as curing agents for CIIR.

Key Steps

Melotenine A, isolated from Melodinus tenuicaudatus, possesses significant anticancer activity against several human cancer cell lines. The synthesis of (±)-melotenine A was achieved without the use of any protecting groups in 11 steps with an overall yield of 7%. The key steps of our strategy were the Diels–Alder reaction to construct the tetracyclic framework and ring-closing metathesis to form the seven-membered ring of (±)-melotenine A.
