The boron triacetate assisted Diels Alder reaction between racemic 5,5-dimethyl-3-vinylcyclohex- 2-enyl acetate and 5-hydroxynaphthoquinone yields the racemic 11-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-7,12-dioxo- 1,2,3,4,6,6a,7,12,12a,12b-decahydrobenzo[a]anthracen-1-yl acetate as the sole stereoisomer by regio- and stereo-selective cis endo addition. Aromatization of the Diels Alder adduct followed by hydrolysis of the acetate and oxidation of the resultant 1-hydroxy group gives the target angucyclinone, 11-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4,7,12-hexahydrobenzo[a]anthracene-1,7,12-trione, in an overall yield of 37% from 5-hydroxynaphthoquinone. The regio- and stereo-selectivity of the Diels Alder addition is confirmed by a combination of 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography.

Two synthetic approaches have been investigated for the syntheses of model angucyclinones related to ochromycinone. The first involves a Diels–Alder/Friedel–Crafts strategy in which the Diels–Alder adduct formed between dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and 3-ethenyl-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1- one was converted into 6,6-dimethyl-8-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride, which was then reacted with benzene in a Friedel–Crafts reaction. Acid-catalysed cyclization of the Friedel–Crafts products gave 3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrobenz[a]anthracene-1,7,12(2H)-trione (3) in poor yield. Angucyclinones related to (3) are formed (in 40–50% overall yield) by aromatization of the adduct formed between the appropriate 1,4-naphthoquinone and 3-[(E)-2-methoxyethenyl]- 5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (this dienone reacts with itself by a Diels–Alder process to yield an adduct which decomposes to 3,3,8,8-tetramethyl-3,4,7,8-tetrahydroanthracene-1,6(2H,5H)-dione). When the substituted 1,4-naphthoquinone is unsymmetrical, a boron triacetate assisted Diels–Alder reaction gives a single regioisomer (e.g. X-ray investigations indicate that 8-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrobenz[a]anthracene-1,7,12(2H)-trione is the product from 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone). An X-ray structural study of the Diels–Alder adduct in the above reaction confirms the operation of an endo cyclization.

The synthesis of 5-substituted 6,6a-dihydroisoindolo[2,1-a]quinolin-11(5H)-ones via [4 + 2] imino-Diels–Alder cyclization from N-aryl-3-hydroxyisoindolinones and N-vinyl lactams under Lewis acid-catalysed anhydrous conditions is reported. Reactions of N-(2-substituted-aryl)-3-hydroxyisoindolinones with N-vinylpyrrolidone under identical conditions resulted in the formation of 2-(2-substitued-aryl)-3-(2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)vinyl)isoindolin-1-one analogues indicating steric hinderance as the cause of deviation. The probable mechanism of the reaction based on the results from X-ray crystallography and molecular modelling is discussed.

The Diels–Alder cycloaddition between bisdienes and bisdienophile incorporating the 7-oxa-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane unit are well known to show high diastereoselectivity that can be exploited for the synthesis of molecular belts. The related bisdiene 5,6,7,8-tetramethylidene-2-bicyclo[2.2.2]octene is a valuable building block for the synthesis of photoprecursors for acenes, but it has not been employed for the synthesis of molecular belts. The present work investigates by computational means the Diels–Alder reaction between these bisdiene building blocks with syn-1,4,5,8-tetrahydro-1,4:5,8-diepoxyanthracene, which shows that the diastereoselectivity of the Diels–Alder reaction of the etheno-bridged bisdiene is lower than that of the epoxy-bridged bisdiene. The reaction of the etheno-bridged bisdiene and syn-1,4,5,8-tetrahydro-1,4:5,8-diepoxyanthracene in 2:1 ratio yields two diastereomers that differ in the orientation of the oxa and etheno bridges based on NMR and X-ray crystallography. The all-syn diastereomer can be transformed into a molecular belt by inter- and intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions with a bifunctional building block. The molecular belt could function as a synthetic intermediate en route to a [11]cyclacene photoprecursor.

The title compounds, C21H16O2S2(I) and C25H20O2(II), are products of a tandem `pincer' Diels–Alder reaction consisting of [2 + 2] cycloadditions between benzo[c]furan and cyclopentanone. Each comprises a fused tetracyclic ring system containing two five-membered rings (inenvelopeconformations with the O atom as the flap) and six-membered rings (inboatconformations). In addition, two thiophene rings in (I) and two phenyl rings in (II) are attached to the tetracyclic ring system. The cyclopentanone ring adopts atwistedconformation in (I) and anenvelopeconformation in (II). In (I), the thiophene rings are positionally disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancy ratios of 0.901 (2):0.099 (2) and 0.666 (2):0.334 (2). In (II), the oxygen atom of the cyclopentanone ring is rotationally disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.579 (4):0.421 (4). The molecular structure of (I) is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates anS(7) ring motif. In the crystal, the molecules are linkedviaweak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which generateR22(16) ring motifs in (I) andC(8) chains in (II). In both structures, the crystal packing also features C—H...π interactions. The crystal studied of compound (I) was twinned by non-merohedry. The twin component is related by the twin law [−1 0 0 −0.101 1 −0.484 0 0 −1] operated by a twofold rotation axis parallel to thebaxis. The structure of (I) was refined with a twin scale factor of 0.275 (2).

Diels-Alder reaction between furan and α-chloroacrylonitrile gives a mixture of exo-2-chloro-and endo-2-chloro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carbonitrile (4) and (5). Mild hydrolysis affords the corresponding α-chloro acid mixture, from which the endo carboxylic acid may be removed through iodo lactone formation. Catalytic hydrogenation of (4) and (5) followed by hydrolysis, acyl azide formation, Curtius rearrangement, and hydrolysis of the resulting mixture of a-chloro isocyanates yields 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.l]heptan-2-one (1) in preparatively useful amounts. Reduction of (1) gives only endo alcohol, and Baeyer-Villiger reaction proceeds with exclusive bridgehead atom migration. Thermal decomposition of the sodium salt of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone of (1) affords 7-oxatricyclo[2.2.1 .02,6]heptane.

The synthesis of (±)-epiisopodophyllotoxin commencing with 6-bromopiperonal dimethyl acetal is described. The carbon skeleton of isoepipodophyllotoxin was assembled via a Diels–Alder reaction between the hydroxyquinodimethane generated photochemically from 6-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl)-piperonal, obtained from the bromoacetal above, and dimethyl fumarate. This Diels–Alder adduct was converted in five steps into the title compound. The overall yield for the seven steps was 15%.
