The total synthesis of petasitolone (1), a sesquiterpenoid of the eremophilane family, has been accomplished. The key step of this efficient synthesis is the Lewis acid catalyzed Diels–Alder addition of 2-carbomethoxy-2-cyclohexenone (3) to diene 9. The cycloaddition, which gives adduct 16 in good yield, facilitates the rapid construction of the parent ring system of the target molecule and allows an excellent control of the required stereochemistry.

The first Diels–Alder addition of a diene to a cyclooctenone dienophile has been observed. Three activated cyclooctenone dienophiles 1, 2, and 3 are studied with a variety of simple and functionalized dienes. Diels–Alder adducts are produced in excellent yields under very mild Lewis acid catalyzed conditions. The usual orientation rules are followed and, as predicted, the products are formed for the most part exclusively by ester-endo addition. The stereoselectivity is influenced by the substitution pattern of the diene in some cases. The factors influencing the stereochemical selectivity of the addition are discussed in some detail. Keywords: 2-carbalkoxy-2-cyclooctenones, Diels–Alder reaction, six–eight fused ring system.
