The second generation synthesis of (+)-pseudodeflectusin (1), a potential antitumor agent, has been achieved. The key synthetic step is the cascade reaction involving Diels-Alder reaction, lactonization, and decarboxylation to give cycloadduct 6 with complete regioselectivity in good yield. We found that NaH is the best base to facilitate the Diels-Alder reaction of hydroxypyrone 7 with alkyne 8. The present synthetic route enables the total synthesis of (+)-1 in only five-steps from the known compounds 7 and 8. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
