Starting from ethyl 3-(1-naphthyl)propionate (1), the dibasic acid 4-(4-carboxy-ethyl-I-naphthyl)butyric acid (3) was prepared, which served as a key compound for the synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-4H-benz[de]anthraoene (6) by a double intramolecular cyclization. The monocyolization of the dibasic acid (3) gave rise by a preferential six-membered ring closure, to 3-(1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-phenanthryl)propionic acid (7). A partial synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-4H-benz[de]anthracene (6), by succinoylation of perinaphthane followed by usual synthetic steps, is reported as confirmatory evidence of the identity of (6) obtained by double cyclization of the diacid. Some aspects of the orientation of intramolecular acylation are discussed.

Salvianolic acid N was synthesized starting from 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde in 11 steps and with an overall yield of 11%. The key reaction steps were the Wittig reaction for Z-stereoselectivity, the copper catalyzed intramolecular cyclization for seven membered ring skeleton, and the deprotected allylic group with Pd catalysis.

The preparation of a series of porphyrins substituted with butyric acid side chains is described and efforts to achieve the intramolecular cyclization of this substituent are discussed. Attempts to prepare a stable spiro ketone by cyclization onto a β- pyrrolic carbon have not met with success but the synthesis of a seven- membered ring ketone by cyclization onto a meso -carbon has been completed. Reduction of this ketone has led to the synthesis of the petroporphyrin (1d). Some comments are offered concerning the origin of the isomeric petroporphyrin (19a) which bears a methylated six- membered ring sytem fused to the porphyrin macrocycle.

<div> <p>The total synthesis of principinol D, a rearranged kaurane diterpenoid, is reported. This grayanane natural product is constructed via a convergent fragment coupling approach, wherein the central 7-membered ring is synthesized at a late stage. The bicyclo[3.2.1]octane fragment is accessed by a Ni-catalyzed α-vinylation reaction. Strategic reductions include a diastereoselective SmI<sub>2</sub>-mediated ketone reduction with PhSH and a new protocol for selective ester reduction in the presence of ketones. The convergent strategy reported herein may be an entry point to the larger class of kaurane diterpenoids.</p> </div>

3-Methylfluorene-9-propionic acid (1) with hydrofluoric acid undergoes ring-closure on the substituted ring to give 1,2,3,10b-tetrahydro-5-methylfluoranthen-3-one (II).Wolff-Kishner reduction of the ketone yielded l,2,3,10b-tetrahydro-5-methylfluoranthene which on dehydrogenation gave 2-methylfluoranthene (III, R=H) identical with a sample prepared according to the method of Tucker (1952) and differing from 8-methylfluoranthene. This proved that ring-closure of (I) had occurred as expected on the methyl-bearing benzene ring. In this instance ring-closure occurs in the position meta to the methyl group and is reminiscent of the similar ring-closure of 2-phenyl-2-p-tolylpropionic acid to give 6-methyl-3-phenylindanone (Pfeiffer and Roos 1941). It thus provided a further example of the limitations of von Braun's statement that Friedel-Crafts ring-closure occurs much less readily at the position meta to a methyl group than on a phenyl ring (von Braun, Manz and Reinsch 1928).
