A formal synthesis of longifolene in racemic form is concluded starting from the Diels–Alder reaction of 6,6-di-methylfulvene and maleic anhydride. Key steps are cyclodehydration, conjugate methylation, and ring expansion.

AbstractThe hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of 1-(2-furyl)-3-(dimethylamino)-2-propene-1-thione (diene) with maleic and fumaric acids, and β-nitrostyrenes yielded 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiopyran derivatives. Treatment of some of those cycloadducts with acetic acid caused elimination of dimethylamine yielding stable 2H-thiopyrans. Reaction of the diene with maleic anhydride furnished a cycloadduct which underwent spontaneous rearrangement to form an N,N-dimethylamide derivative. Cycloadditions of the diene to maleimide, N-phenylmaleimide, diethyl maleate, fumarate and butenolide, carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride,were followed by elimination of dimethylamine, afforded stable 2H-thiopyran derivatives.

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.

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.

The total synthesis of marine sesquiterpenoid isoacanthodoral (3), in racemic form, has been accomplished, using the boron trifluoride catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction of dienone ester 4 and isoprene as the key step.
