The synthesis of the four acyclic trienes 11a, b and 20a, b is reported. The tandem macrocyclization and stereoselective transannular Diels–Alder reaction of acyclic trienes 11b (trans-trans-cis) and 20b (trans-trans-trans) were observed in the presence of Cs2CO3 at 85 °C to give tricycles 30 (TST) and 32 (CAT) respectively. However, treatment of acyclic trienes 11a (cis-trans-cis) and 20a (cis-trans-trans) under the same conditions yielded the 14-membered macrocycles 21 and 23, which were stereoselectively transformed at 250 °C into tricycles 22 (CST) and 24 (CAT) respectively in excellent yield. Keywords: stereocontrolled synthesis, macrocycle, tricyclic compound, transannular Diels–Alder reaction.

The syntheses of the acyclic dienynes 14a (cis-trans-acetylene) and 14b (trans-trans-acetylene) are described. The tandem macrocyclization and transannular Diels–Alder reaction of the allylic chloride 14b was conducted in the presence of Cs2CO3 at 85 °C in one-pot to provide tricyclic product 16, with the two hydrogens in ring B being cis. On the other hand, treatment of the allylic chloride 14a under the same conditions afforded 14-membered macrocycle 17, which could be transformed at 250 °C into a similar tricyclic product 18 with the two hydrogens in ring B being trans, along with an interesting by-product 19. The mechanism for the formation of 19 is also discussed. Keywords: stereocontrolled synthesis, macrocycle, tricyclic compound, transannular Diels–Alder reaction.

Transannular Diels–Alder reactions of 14-membered macrocyclic trienes possessing a methyl substituent on both the diene and dienophile moiety have been investigated. Macrocyclic structures 1a, 1b, and 1c having cis-trans-trans (CTT), trans-cis-trans (TCT), and trans-trans-trans (TTT) geometries could be stereoselectively constructed by coupling appropriately functionalized dienes 5 and dienophile 4 following an intramolecular displacement of an allylic halide by the anion of an appropriately located dimethyl malonate unit. The transannular Diels–Alder reaction performed on 1a led to a mixture of four major tricyclic products, including 34 possessing the unexpected trans-anti-cis (TAC) stereochemistry. When heated at 300 °C, macrocycle 1b underwent an unique conversion via an ene–retroene, Diels–Alder process, producing the unexpected tricycle 41 (racemic form) containing five contiguous chiral centers. A rationale for the above experimental facts is presented. In contrast to the previous results, the transannular Diels–Alder reaction of macrocycle 1c was straightforward, producing a 95% isolated yield of trans-anti-cis (TAC) tricycle 34. This investigation demonstrates a general methodology for the stereocontrolled synthesis of 1,2-dimethyl A.B.C[6.6.6] tricyclic compounds, which are potential precursors to polycyclic natural products such as steroids and terpenes.

The racemic and chiral synthesis of trans-cis-cis macrocyclic triene 5 is described. Heating this compound at 262 °C leads via a transannular Diels–Alder reaction to the tricyclic structure 6, which can be further transformed into tricyclic compound 7. This work constitutes a preliminary study for the synthesis of corticoids.
