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.

Ethyl E-5-(4-ethyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-pentenoate (7), prepared in four steps from m-ethylphenol (9), was converted via Wessely oxidation with lead tetraacetate followed by intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction in boiling xylene to ethyl 1-acetyloxy-6-ethyl-2,3,3a,4,5,7a-hexahydro-8-oxo-1,5-methano-1H-indene-anti-4-carboxylate (16). Hydrogenation of 16 followed by mild hydrolysis gave ethyl 6-ethyloctahydro-1-hydroxy-8-oxo-1,5-methano-1H-indene-anti-4-car-boxylate (24), which on oxidation with periodate gave 4-(ethoxycarbonyl)-6-ethyloctahydro-1-oxo-1H-indene-5-car-boxylic acid (26). Oxidative decarboxylation of this gave a mixture of ethyl 6-ethyl-2,3,3a,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1-oxo-1H-indene-4-carboxylate (31) and ethyl 6-ethyl-2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1-oxo-1H-indene-4-carboxylate (32); the latter was converted to the former by ethanolic sodium ethoxide. Hydrolysis of 31 with hot hydrochloric acid gave (±)-coronafacic acid (4).

The use of 3-carboxylated 2,5-dihydrothiophenes as the dienophilic component of the Diels–Alder reaction has been investigated. The yields are generally quite low. The formation of conjugated dienes that are aminated at an interior position of the conjugated chain by formation and thermal decomposition of 3-acetamido-2,5-dihydrothiophenes appears to be a viable route to these useful compounds. One example of the Diels–Alder reaction of 2-carboxylated diethyl vinylphosphonates is reported.

The photoisomerization of enol-lactones is described. Thermal decomposition of (E) and (Z) ethyl 3-oxo-1,3,3aβ,4α,7α,7aβ-hexahydro-4,7-methanoisobenzofran-1-yideneacetates provides a good route to (E) and (Z) ethyl 5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ylideneacetates. Other examples of this retro-Diels-Alder reaction are reported. The relative stabilities of (E) and (Z) enol-lactones from the Wittig reaction between substituted succinic anhydrides and ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane have been determined. These Wittig reactions are under kinetic control.

The Diels-Alder (DA) reaction of biomass derived furans is an emerging technology for the preparation of new molecular entities and “drop-in” commodity chemicals. In this work we address the challenge of the direct use of electron-poor furanic platforms as dienes through the use of an unexplored chitin derived furan, 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF). The 3-acetamido group promoted a remarkable increase in the kinetics of the DA allowing for the preparation of 7-oxanorbornenes (7-ONB) at 50 ºC. Partial hydrolysis of the enamide to hemi-acylaminals was possible upon fine tuning of the reaction conditions, disabling retro-DA processes. Finally, DA reaction of the reduced form of 3A5AF allowed quantitative formation of 7-ONB in aqueous condition after 10 minutes. Certanly these are the first steps for expanding the toolbox of chitin derived 3A5AF as diene.

Titanium(III) chloride was found to be an effective catalyst for the imino Diels-Alder reaction between an imine (generated in situ) and an activated alkene in acetonitrile at ambient temperature. The reaction proceeds smoothly to afford the corresponding adduct as a mixture of chromatographically separable cis- and trans isomers in moderate to good yields.

Ru-catalyzed tandem amine oxidative dehydrogenation/formal aza-Diels–Alder reaction for enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of indoloquinolizidine-2-ones from tetrahydro-β-carbolines and α,β-unsaturated ketones is described. The reaction proceeds via tandem ruthenium-catalyzed amine dehydrogenation using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant and a chiral thiourea-catalyzed formal aza-[4 + 2] cycloaddition, providing a step-economical strategy for the synthesis of these valuable heterocyclic products.

The phospha-Diels–Alder reaction between 2H-phospholes and arylallenes afford 6-methylene-1-phosphanorbornenes in high yields and excellent regioselectivity. This Diels–Alder reaction proceeds at the internal C=C double bond of allenes selectively. The DFT...

The syntheses of a variety of 3,4-disubstituted pyrroles including the antimitotic agent Verrucarin E are described. 3,4-Pyrroledicarboxylic esters were prepared through a Diels–Alder reaction. Partial hydrolysis of the diesters gave the 4-ester-3-acids which were modified to achieve the synthesis of a variety of unsymmetrically 3,4-disubstituted pyrroles. Raney nickel reduction of a thiolester gave hydroxymethyl under conditions which left acyl or carbalkoxy substituents unaffected. Pyrrole reactions involving carbanionic reagents are complicated by 1-proton abstraction. Therefore, when necessary, the nitrogen was protected by an N-benzyloxymethyl substituent which can be cleaved to the N-hydroxymethyl derivative by aluminum chloride or by hydrogenolysis. Subsequent treatment with benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide gave back the pyrrole.

Selective syntheses of the highly substituted bromonaphthoates 4a, 4b, 19, and 22 are reported. These compounds were targeted as precursors to the naphthoquinone nucleus of damavaricin D; compound 22 ultimately was used in the successful total synthesis. The synthesis of 22 features the Diels–Alder reaction of the oxygenated diene 5 and 2,6-dibromo-3-methylbenzoquinone 6 to establish the core naphthalenic unit. The quinone was protected throughout this synthesis as a 1,4-bis-methoxymethyl-1,4-dihydroquinone (see 36). The C-2-carboalkoxy group of 22 was added by carboxylation of the aryllithium intermediate generated from 36, and protected as a β-trimethylsilylethyl ester. Finally, the C-8-Br substituent was introduced by NBS bromination of 38. This reaction proceeds by way of bromobenzocyclohexadienone 39. Related bromobenzo-cyclohexadienones 13 and 29 were observed in the NBS brominations of the highly functionalized β-naphthyl MOM ethers 11 and 28. The bromobenzocyclohexadienones 29 and 39 undergo facile substitution reactions with chloride ion and reduction with bromide ion at rates competitive with base-promoted aromatization. The surprising kinetic stability of these intermediates is attributed to a combination of steric and stereoelectronic factors.Key words: damavaricin D, naphthoate precursors, kinetically stable benzocyclohexadienones, aromatic bromination.
