spiroannulation of 4,4-dimethyl cyclohexanone with -(2-iodoethyl)ether, followed by diazo transfer and Wolff rearrangement, gives acid 6. Homologation to the corresponding β-ketoester, followed by diazo transfer and Rh-mediated intramolecular C-H insertion, then gives ester 8. Reduction of 8 followed by dehydration leads to the α,β unsaturated ester, which on exposure to CrO3 in acetic acid is oxidized
A formal asymmetric synthesis of pentalenolactone E (1b) and pentalenolactone F (1a) has been accomplished. Ozonolysis of the diphenyl-substituted triquinane 3 and Kauffmann methylenation of ketone 5 with WOCl3/2 MeLi yielded the unsubstituted triquinane 9. The crucial rearrangement of the linear triquinanoid lactone 11 to the angular triquinanoid lactone 14a was accomplished using orthoformate and acid in methanol. Subjecting triquinanes 14a/b to the selenoxide method gave triquinene 15. Homologation of gamma-lactone 15 to the angular diquinanoid delta-lactone 2 via a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons or Peterson reaction of hemiacetals 16a/b was, however, not successful. Chemoselective reduction of 14a afforded hemiacetals 21a/b, reaction of which with the phosphonate salt 17a ultimately led to the ketene dithioacetal 22. The angular intermediates 25a/b were obtained from 22 by reduction to give the linear hemiacetals 24a/b, which rearranged to the dithio ortholactones 25a/b in the presence of acid. Introduction of the double bond and deprotection were accomplished via selenation of 25a/b with N,N-diethylbenzeneselenylamide and treatment of selenides 30a/b with silver nitrate. The unsaturated aldehydes 28 and 29 thus obtained were converted to 2 and 31, respectively, by oxidation with manganese dioxide in the presence of sodium cyanide, methanol and acetic acid. Alkene 2 was isolated by crystallization.
