Efficient synthetic routes for biologically interesting polycycles with prenylated, geranylated, and farnesylated citrans were developed from several trihydroxybenzenes with prenyl, geranyl, and farnesyl groups on the benzene rings. Ethylenediamine diacetate-catalyzed cyclization by a domino aldol-type/electrocyclization/H-shift/hetero Diels-Alder reaction of prenylated, geranylated, and farnesylated trihydroxybenzenes with citral or trans,trans-farnesal provided a variety of tetracycles bearing prenylated, geranylated, and farnesylated citrans. The mechanistic pathway for regio- and stereochemistry of synthesized polycycles was described. As an application of this methodology, 3'-prenylrubranine and petiolin D regioisomer were first synthesized. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
