Two synthesis designs for the diterpenoid crotogoudin are discussed, and efforts to achieve each are described. First, a Cope rearrangement/intramolecular Diels–Alder cascade reaction was investigated. Second, a bioinspired sequence of cationic bicyclization and A-ring oxidative fragmentation set-up for a lactonization induced by a phenolic oxidation, ultimately providing a tricyclic intermediate that required only installation of the bridging ring of the salient bicyclo[2.2.2]octane system. This last endeavor was fraught with difficulty, but did lead to the development of conditions for cyclization of related keto-alkenes via manganese(III)-based radical chemistry.

Martin G. Banwell of the Australian National University prepared (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1934) the enantiomerically pure diol 1 by fermentation of the aromatic precursor. Diels-Alder addition of cyclopentenone 2 proceeded well at elevated pressure to give 3, the precursor to (+)-armillarivin 4. Karl Gademann of the University of Basel found (Chem. Eur. J. 2013, 19, 2589) that the Diels-Alder addition of 6 to 5 proceeded best without solvent and with Cu catalysis to give 7. Reduction under free radical conditions led to gelsemiol 8. Chun-Chen Liao of the National TsingHua University carried out (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1584) the diastereoselective addition of 10 to 9. A later oxy-Cope rearrangement established the octalin skeleton of (+)-frullanolide 12. D. Srinivasa Reddy of CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory devised (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 1894) a strategy for the construction of the angularly substituted cis-fused aldehyde 15 based on Diels-Alder cycloaddition of 14 to the diene 13. Further transformation led to racemic peribysin-E 16. An effective enantioselective catalyst for dienophiles such as 14 has not yet been developed. Hiromi Uchiro of the Tokyo University of Science prepared (Tetrahedron Lett. 2012, 53, 5167) the bicyclic core of myceliothermophin A 19 by BF3•Et2O-promoted cyclization of the tetraene 17. The single ternary center of 17 mediated the formation of the three new stereogenic centers of 18, including the angular substitution. En route to caribenol A 22, Chuang-Chuang Li and Zhen Yang of the Peking University Shenzen Graduate School assembled (J. Org. Chem. 2013, 78, 5492) the triene 20 from two enantiomerically pure precursors. Inclusion of the radical inhibitor BHT sufficed to suppress competing polymerization, allowing clean cyclization to 21. Methylene blue has also been used (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1980, 102, 5088) for this purpose.

Compounds (10), (15) and (16) all react with potassium hydride at 0°C to give, via retro- Diels-Alder reaction, 1-methylnaphthalene (12) in 60-67% yield. No evidence could be obtained for the formation of a product derived from the anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of substrate (16).

The extension of our strategies for the construction of cyclic molecules containing variably substituted bicyclo[5.3.1]undecenones (AB taxane ring systems) for the synthesis of the tricyclo[9.3.1.03,8]pentadecenone (ABC taxane ring system) and bicyclo[2.2.2]octanones are described. These routes employ a multi-component coupling protocol that employs sequential magnesium-mediated carbometallation of allyl-substituted propargyl alcohols followed by diastereoselective Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions (IMDA). Subsequent ring-closing metathesis (RCM) afforded the ABC taxane core structure. Enone accelerated [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangements (Cope rearrangements) generated the bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone nucleus. In the presence of a Lewis acid, the dienophile precursor underwent a tandem reaction via the adduct directly to the bicyclo[2.2.2]octanones. This is the first example of a novel enone accelerated carbocycle Cope rearrangement and provides direct access to bicyclo[2.2.2]octanones by a new route that compliments the traditional cyclohexadiene cycloaddition approach. Key words: magnesium chelate, Lewis acid, taxanes, Diels–Alder, sigmatropic rearrangement, oxy-Cope, ring-closing metathesis, bicyclo[2.2.2]octanone.
