The first total synthesis of the paracaseolide A, a very unusual tetraquinane oxa-cage bislactone recently isolated from the mangrove Sonneratia paracaseolaris, has been achieved. The final step and culmination of the eight-step synthetic sequence is a [4 + 2] dimerization of a 4-hydroxybutenolide, generated by singlet oxygen-mediated oxidation of a furan precursor.

A short and generally applicable synthesis of bioactive tetracyclic natural product paracaseolide A has been accomplished employing a ‘proposed’ biomimetic Diels–Alder reaction as the key strategic step. The Diels–Alder precursors for this purpose were readily assembled through a versatile Suzuki coupling on preformed α-halo butenolides. The mechanistic aspects of the ‘putative’ biomimetic Diels–Alder

A short (5 steps) and highly efficient (25% overall yield) synthesis of paracaseolide A is described. Crucial steps are an α-iodination of a butenolide, a Suzuki coupling and a thermal Diels–Alder reaction. In attempts at Lewis acid catalyzed [4 + 2]-cycloadditions a set of novel dimerization products of the proposed biosynthetic paracaseolide A precursor were produced.

A total synthesis of bioactive tetracyclic natural product paracaseolide A, embodying an architecturally unusual oxa-bowl framework, has been accomplished from commercially available 5-methyl-2-furfural. The key step involving a thermal [4+2]-dimerization of an appropriately crafted 5-methyl-3-alkenylbutenolide is shown to proceed in a stepwise manner. (c) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
