N-3′-Furylbenzamide gives a conventional Diels–Alder adduct with maleic anhydride but with dimethyl maleate and methyl acrylate further reactions take place at the enamide grouping of the initially formed adducts. Compounds have been isolated in which molecules of an alcohol, used as solvent, or the starting furan have added to the double bond of the 1:1 adducts. In the first case unstable alkoxyamides are formed; in the second stable 2:1 adducts result from a novel uncatalysed addition to the double bond of the enamide. The stereochemistry of these and related compounds is discussed.

The Diels-Alder adduct (3), obtained by cycloaddition of 7-dehydrocholesteryl acetate (1) and maleic anhydride (2), was heated at ca. 90?C with a large excess of lead tetraacetate in pyridine solution for 5h. Under these conditions, compound 3 underwent lactonization with the participation of the olefinic ?6-double bond to give two isomeric monolactone derivatives, 9 and 10 (in a total yield of ca. 6%), and the bislactone product 11 (in 11.5% yield). The starting material was recovered in 36% yield.

Methyl β-nitroacrylate (1) reacted with furan to give the corresponding Diels–Alder adduct, which was converted to D,L-3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-2,5-anhydroallose (9) in a five-step sequence in 14% yield, based on 1. The conversion of 9 to its oxime, semicarbazone, and thiosemi-carbazone is described, as well as the synthesis of the free aldehyde 15, and of the Wittig reaction product 14.

The aim of this project was to attempt to find a method for introducing the cis-dihydroxyl substitution at the A/B-ring junction of model compounds related to the saquayamycins. The Diels-Alder reactions of maleic anhydride and bromomaleic anhydride with 5,5-dimethyl-3-vinylcyclohexa-1,2-dienyl acetate gave the two required endo-adducts in good yield, namely (octahydrobenzo[e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate (6) and (octahydrobenzo[e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate (9). Each of these was converted into the B-ring mono-epoxide, namely (H-benzo[e]oxireno-2,3-furan-1-yl acetate (7) and a mixture of two racemic diastereoisomers of 9a-bromo-3,3-dimethyl-7,9-dioxoperhydrobenzo[e]oxi- reno[2,3-f]isobenzofuran-1-yl acetate (12), respectively. It was then hoped to deprotonate both (7) and (12) at the 9a position in order to effect migration of the 8,9 double bond to the 9,9a position. Reaction of (7) with a mild base (pyridine) did not effect any reaction. Similar treatment of (12) did remove the 9a proton, but it also effected ring opening of the epoxide, followed by dehydration and dehydrobromination to give an excellent (but unwanted) yield of the aromatized system (±)-7,7-dimethyl-1,3-dioxo-1,3,5,7-tetrahydrobenzo (e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate. Dehydrobromination of (9), and deprotonation of the 9a position, similarly formed the aromatic system (e]isobenzofuran-9-yl acetate (11) in good yield.

The results of a study of Diels–Alder reactions of the bicyclic dienes 6–8 with a variety of dienophiles are reported. Although 6 and 7 undergo cycloaddition reactions smoothly and efficiently, thermal Diels–Alder reactions of 8 are generally sluggish or, under the conditions investigated, do not proceed at all. Additions of tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) to 6–8 are highly face-selective, with preferential attack of the dienophile on the side of the dienes opposite to the angular methoxycarbonyl group. Reaction of 7 with maleic anhydride (MAN) is completely face-selective and proceeds preferentially via an endo transition state. Diels–Alder reactions of 6 and 7 with methyl acrylate (MAC) and nitroethylene (NE) are entirely regioselective, but the face-selectivities, which vary from ~2:1 to ~3:1, are rather low. The use of this chemistry as a method for the synthesis of functionalized, stereochemically defined, perhydro-1H-phenalenes is demonstrated.

The extent of asymmetric induction in the bimolecular Diels–Alder reactions of chiral o-quinodimethanes with dimethyl fumarate, methyl acrylate, and maleic anhydride has been studied. o-Quinodimethanes with chiral α-alkoxy groups were prepared from 1-alkoxy-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxides 4a–f or 1-alkoxy-3-phenyl-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxides 4g–h by thermolysis. These alkoxybenzosulfones were prepared from the corresponding hydroxybenzosulfones 8 and 1-phenylethanol, 2-phenyl-1-propanol, 4-phenyl-2-butanol, 1-phenyl-2-propanol, 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol, or 1-cyclo-hexylethanol. The 1-phenylethoxy substituent yielded the largest asymmetric induction. The absolute configurations of the major cycloadducts of methyl acrylate with the o-quinodimethanes generated from 1-(R- 1-phenylethoxy)- and 1-(S-1-phenylethoxy)-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxides 4i and 4j have been determined to be 1S,2S-1-(R-1-phenylethoxy)- and 1R,2R-1-(S-1-phenylethoxy)-2-carbomethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene 11i and 11j, respectively. The proposition that a chiral alkoxy substituent can block one face of the o-quinodimethane towards addition of a dienophile is discussed.
